Scouting:

Korver projects very much as a three-point specialist. He has good size for a shooting guard. He has a pure stroke, and can get his shot off easily and pretty quickly. An excellent shooter coming off screens or in a catch-and-shoot position. Understands his strengths and doesn’t try to force offense, very few shots at the rim unless wide open. He is an excellent free-throw shooter at 88.9 percent. He is an average defender that lacks athleticism, but tries hard.
