Kyle Korver

Kyle Korver was a two-time Mountain Valley Conference Player of the Year at Creighton, but it was not expected that he would have a long career as a professional, and thus, he slid down late in the Second Round.

Initially drafted by the Nets but traded to Sixers afterward, Korver established his worth as a long-range sharpshooter, leading the NBA in that stat four times, becoming the first player to do so.  Also, a two-time leader in True Shooting Percentage, Korver retired ranked in the top twenty-five in Free Throw Percentage, 3-Point Field Goal Percentage, Effective Field Goal Percentage, and True Shooting Percentage, and he also had productive seasons with Utah, Chicago, and Atlanta, the latter of which saw him make his lone All-Star Game (2015).

Korver was not a player who would be a major star in the NBA, nor was he a complete player, but in the proper role, his contributions to a team were invaluable.

38. Kyle Korver

A member of the Atlanta Hawks for 332 Games, Kyle Korver was a bit of a surprising All Star choice in 2015, but he was so respected for his long range shooting for years that it was not that strange of a selection.  The Shooting Guard would lead the NBA in Three Point Fielding Percentage twice as a Hawk (and once in the season he was traded to Cleveland) and he was also a two time leader in True Shooting Percentage.  He would average 10.9 Points per Game with Atlanta.
