He is definitely being a suprise player this year. nobody expected him to avergae 10 points and 4 rebounds. he's been playing pretty good defense lately too.anybody think he'll be a candidate for most improve player? i deff think he has a higher chance then willie green as of now
Hopefully he wins! That'd be sick! I think he will grow up and become a sort of Steve Kerr player. Comes out to his big shots. I'd love to see him develop into an All-Star. And hopefully he will enter the 3pt competition this year and win it all. He deserved it last year, stupid Lenard!
Jim O`Brien really likes his 3-point ability, Kyle will see plenty of playing time this season. It seems that he also improved on his defense.
Kyle put more work on his defense and ball handling in the summer,he's playing like 20 something minutes right now and his ppg is very good for those minutes.I played NBA Live 2005 yesterday and I hit a game winning layup at the buzzer with him right after he stole the ball from Ricky Davis,I hope he will hit some game winners for Sixers this year.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting iversonfan3:</div><div class="quote_post">anybody think he has any chance of him being in the rookie challenge game as a sophmore?</div> He could be in it but usually those kind of games are full of great dunkers and good passers,I don't see him there but he could be.
yeh im glad kyle is finally getting the recognition he deserves...hes easily one of the best shooters in the league, and its nice to see him developing his defensive game...i expect him to be a 3-point contest participant for years to come, and I think he'll draw a lot of attention on the market when he becomes a free agent next season...

Korver is playing better then most of us thought he would.He is doing his job by hitting open shots and threes, the main reason he puts up such good numbres for a player of his caliber, is because he is given the oppurtnity to perform and take a lot of shots.
Kyle Korver is also clutch. He hit one of the OT forcing shot last year v.s. NY. Once he gets handle and all that other stuff there is no doubt in my mind he can be a future all star
Seven threes in one game is pretty damn good, he was very clutch against Indiana yesterday. He is already developing into one of the best three point shooter in the league.

I might have to think about Philly changing to my favorite team because of AI, Korver and Iggy.
definitely i forgot about the 6th man award.because hes not really a starter type of guy, he shud thrive fcoming off the bench. but i think this year's most improve belongs to brezec or g wallace, brezec is averaging like 18 and 10 or semetting like that.
I credit a lot of Korver's progress to 1) his willingness to improve defensively to stay on the floor and 2) coach O'Brien letting him play his game...O'Brien encourages his players to know where Kyle is at all times on the floor...he realizes he has a great shooter and someone who can change the course of the game with a few shots...
