2003 Scouting Report:

Strengths: Top shooter in the college game ... Intelligent player who shows great court awareness ... Plays under control and every move on the floor is thought out... Although a great shooter he is a very capable passer... Does a nice job of recognizing open teammates on the fast break ... His solid court vision makes him a consistent threat to pass to cutters under the basket... When working off screens he needs little time to get his shot off thanks to his quick release ... Mechanics on his jumper enable him to shoot over most defenders as his height and high arc make him difficult to block ... A consistent threat behind the 3-point line ... Has the ability to make any shot off the floor if his feet are set or if he is running of screens ... Decent rebounder for a player at his position ... Excellent free throw shooter... Does a great job of shooting the ball quickly off handoffs ... Moves very well without the ball in hands when he is running off screens ... Despite his scoring prowess, Korver is a very unselfish player... Tremendous work ethic and hunger to become a better player... Confident player who doesn't shy away from the ball when the game is on the line ...

Weakness: At times Korver can become too infatuated with shooting the 3-point shot... Defensively he still has a ways to go as he doesn't always play with full effort and can get caught concentrating solely on offense ... Korver's average lateral quickness and foot speed makes it hard for him to defend quick and athletic players ... However the zone defense rule changes make him less of a liability ... Needs to gain weight and upper body strength to his average frame ... His stamina can improve with better conditioning ... Because of the fact he is so perimeter oriented with his offense he doesn't draw many fouls from his defender... Though he has a quick release, his ability to get shots off may cause him problems due to his lack of speed and quickness ... Ball handling is adequate but not where it will need to be in the NBA ... Despite his proficiency from the 3-point line he is not great shooting from mid-range off the dribble ... Somewhat one dimensional offesively and must work on taking defenders off the dribble and becoming more aggressive attacking the basket...
