It hasn’t taken long for him to make an impact on the roster.</p><p>The sharpshooter is obviously going to put in the work with the the wings on the team to improve their outside shot. Guys like Bruce Brown, DeAndre’ Bembry, and rookie Cam Thomas are bound to get some one-on-one sessions. But Shams Charania recently name-dropped big man Nic Claxton as one of Korver’s new students. According to <i>The Athletic</i>‘s Alex Schiffer, the pair’s sessions together began not long after Korver joined the team, in a random gym near Claxton’s hometown.</p><blockquote>Korver arrived at 7 a.m. and the two got after it. From free throws to 3s, Korver, one of the game’s great shooters, worked on a flaw that has followed Claxton since he declared for the <a href="https://www.sbnation.com/nba-draft">NBA Draft</a> out of Georgia; finding consistency in his jump shot. He couldn’t have found a better teacher in Korver, the Nets’ newest player development coach.“Everything that he does is easy for me to understand,” said Claxton, whose education under Korver has continued in San Diego, where the Nets have started training camp. “Of course his body of work, what he did, speaks for itself. But everything is relatable. He knows how to get through.”</blockquote><p>Nic Claxton could very well be an x-factor for the Nets this season. As the only dependable shot-blocking option on the roster, he’ll be called upon to defending opposing big men they may face on their quest for a title. Being able to make an impact on the offensive side of the floor as well would put Brooklyn on another level.</p><p>Claxton attempted just 12 threes in his first two seasons, connecting on two of them. Safe to say he’s going to shatter that figure this year.</p><p>Kyrie Irving and his Covid-19 <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nets-news-kyrie-irving-gets-desperate-plea-from-mayor-bill-de-blasio-to-get-covid-19-vaccine/">vaccination saga</a> looks to be the biggest threat to the Brooklyn Nets’ title hopes thus far. But even with all pieces healthy and available, the Nets still face some healthy opposition from around the league.</p><p>That’s why it’s tantamount the supporting cast around Irving, Kevin Durant, and James Harden is poised and ready to raise the team’s ceiling even further.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Although Bucks guard Kyle Korver was not one of the initiators of that boycott, he couldn’t help but feel emotional when reliving the events that led to that decision.</p><blockquote>“I just sat there with tears running down my face,” Korver recalled the exact moment when his team decided to forego the important game, pe<a href="https://www.si.com/nba/2020/10/27/kyle-korver-details-bucks-boycott-nba-bubble" rel="noopener noreferrer">r Sports Illustrated’s Michael Shapiro</a>. “And I’m looking at my jersey that says Black Lives Matter, and I’m like, ‘what are we doing?'”“One teammate, George Hill decided he wasn’t going to play. …We all just sat there and were like, ‘we’re all with you.'”</blockquote><p>While Korver is just one of the few white players in Milwaukee’s roster, the 39-year-old shooter threw his complete support behind the Black Lives Matter movement to finally put an end to racial injustice and police brutality.</p><blockquote>“It’s always interesting for me as a white man in these spaces. How do I help as a white man? What do I say as a white man in this space?” Korver added. “And you know what you do? You stand with the marginalized. And when you can you amplify their voice, and you listen to their thoughts, and you listen to their ideas, and then you find your way to help out”.</blockquote><p>The Bucks decision to voluntarily get an L in their playoff game came just a day after African-American civilian Jacob Blake was shot by police officers in Kenosha, Wisconsin — which just so happened to be eerily close to the team’s home floor at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Given the entire squad was miles away inside the bubble at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, the Bucks players felt they need to send a strong message by refusing to play.</p><p>This, of course, set the course for a domino effect that reverberated around the entire league. All the scheduled playoff games that day were postponed. The 2019-20 campaign was also put in jeopardy of being cancelled for the second time after the effects of the pandemic.</p><p>The season only managed to resume only after the league and the NBPA agreed to terms following several closed-door meetings.</p><p>Kyle Korver, on the other hand, did not have a productive season in his 17th year in the league, notching just 6.7 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in 58 games. Still, the one-time All-Star provided a valuable contributions far bigger than basketball.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>

The first three guys have carved out superstar careers. As for Korver? He is more known as a specialist and never the main guy. But being in the company of Hall of Fame shooters only goes to show that he’s pretty special as well.</p><p>He is now an unrestricted free agent after playing out his one-year veteran minimum deal with the Milwaukee Bucks. He only averaged 16.6 minutes, the least since his rookie season in 2003-2004, and put up 6.7 points and 2.1 rebounds. He is already 39 years old and has clearly slowed down. Korver, however, remains as one of the biggest outside threats in the NBA, and with the game stretching more and more to the three-point area, Kyle Korver can still be an asset to any team.</p><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Kyle-Korver-has-hilarious-response-to-how-he-stayed-in-shape-during-hiatus.jpg"></figure><p>Korver <a href="https://behindthebuckpass.com/2020/10/09/milwaukee-bucks-to-buy-sell-kyle-korver-free-agency/">said he’d discuss with his family first</a> before deciding on his next step, while the Bucks are on a wait-and-see approach. But if he decides to leave, here are three ideal destinations for the sweet-sniping forward.</p><h2><b>New York Knicks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/thib.jpg"></figure><p>If Korver doesn’t mind spending his farewell years with a losing record, an easy pick would be the Knicks, who were a disaster from the three-point line this season. They averaged a league-worst 9.6 makes from deep at an anemic 33.7 percent shooting. While Korver may not dramatically increase those numbers, he could definitely help. Watching the Knicks miss wide-open three-pointers all season was as painful as watching the last season of Game of Thrones.</p><p>For what it’s worth, the Knicks have able playmakers in Elfrid Payton, Frank Ntilikina, and RJ Barrett. They could set up Korver for outside shots off the bench, something the team has lacked for years now. He could also open the floor more for Julius Randle and Bobby Portis, who have the ability to attack from the inside. If they attract defenders in the post, Kyle Korver would be the perfect outlet. Just imagine the Madison Square Garden going crazy whenever he drains one from long range.</p><p>Joining the Knicks will also reunite Korver with his former coach in Tom Thibodeau. They spent two seasons together in those memorable Chicago Bulls squads that went deep in the NBA Playoffs. Thibodeau gave Korver all the confidence to shoot and it wouldn’t be a surprise if he does the same if they work together again in the Big Apple.</p><h2><b>Denver Nuggets</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/nuggets.jpg"><figcaption>CP</figcaption></figure><p>While the Nuggets played exceptional in this year’s NBA Playoffs, with Jamal Murray having his coming-out party and Nikola Jokic continuing his stellar all-around play, it also became clear that they lacked ample shooters. Gary Harris couldn’t sink a three-point shot to save his life, Michael Porter Jr. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nuggets-rumors-michael-porter-jr-s-trade-status-revealed/">was inconsistent at best</a>, while Jerami Grant, Torrey Craig, and Monte Morris all shot below 33 percent.</p><p>While it could be difficult for Korver to earn major minutes on a deep Nuggets team, his addition will surely bolster the roster nonetheless. He could give a jolt off the bench just by planting himself beyond the arc and waiting for emergency kick-outs or extra passes. Korver has never been a fantastic one-on-one player, so he will just continue the same role he’s done for the last 18 seasons—which safe to say, he’s done pretty well. The Nuggets averaged 27.2 assists this season, so moving the ball around to find spot-up shooters is not an issue.</p><p>The Nuggets only averaged 11.0 three-pointers this season, which is tied for sixth-worst in the NBA. Yet, they still notched the third seed in the stacked Western Conference. It feels like they’re one shooter away from getting over the hump, and an experienced guy like Korver could be that key missing piece.</p><h2><b>Los Angeles Lakers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/ad2-3.jpg"><figcaption>ClutchPoints</figcaption></figure><p>Why not? Korver is still hoping to win his first NBA title before he rides off into the sunset. So why not join a team that just won it? The Lakers have a laundry list of free agents and they might not get to re-sign them all. There might be room for the former Creighton standout. Again, he’ll have his work cut out for him finding minutes with fellow outside specialists Danny Green, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, and JR Smith on the roster. But he could still provide a lift, especially when the aforementioned guys are having one of their slumps.</p><p>He would have a field day getting open shots with LeBron James and Anthony Davis attracting defenses like sugar drawing out ants. Korver is familiar with how LBJ operates from their stint together with the Cleveland Cavaliers so transitioning won’t be a problem. If Jared Dudley found a way to contribute to the Purple and Gold, there’s no reason for Korver not to do the same. He’s a better shooter and is an underrated defender.</p><p>Kyle Korver thought he had a good chance of finally winning a ring with the Milwaukee Bucks this season. But they fell short. He got close twice with the Wine and Gold after reaching the NBA Finals. But again, zilch. Joining the Lakers could be last his good chance.</p><figure class="op-tracker"><iframe><script>  (function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){  (i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),  m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)  })(window,document,'script','https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');  ga('create', 'UA-66147751-16', 'auto');  ga('set', 'campaignSource', 'Facebook');  ga('set', 'campaignMedium', 'Instant Article');  ga('set', 'title', ia_document.title);  ga('send', 'pageview');</script><script type="text/javascript">      window._taboola = window._taboola || [];      _taboola.push({          article: 'auto',          ref_url: 'http://instantarticles.fb.com'      });      !function (e, f, u, i) {          if (!document.getElementById(i)) {              e.async = 1;              e.src = u;              e.id = i;              f.parentNode.insertBefore(e, f);          }      }(document.createElement('script'),          document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0],          'https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/clutchpoints-clutchpoints/trk.js',          'tb_loader_script');      if (window.performance) {          if (typeof window.performance.mark == 'function') {            window.performance.mark('tbl_ic');          }        }</script></iframe></figure></article>    </body></html>
