Can Luke Babbitt be Kyle Korver 2.0?

For four years Kyle Korver was the nucleus of the Hawks system offensively. Korver only averaged a few points per game. But he was the second or third most important guy for Atlanta from an x’s and o’s perspective. He could shoot the long range shot like it was no one’s else’s business. And he’s averaged 43.1% from long range during his 14-year tenure in the NBA to prove it.

This opened the floor for everyone else on the court while he was in Atlanta. It allowed Jeff Teague room to dribble through the lane, and left Kent Bazemore, Demarre Carroll, Paul Millsap, Al Horford and other players wide open from beyond the arc when the Hawks were at their peak.
