Kyle Korver wakes up in the middle the night thinking about his shooting mechanics. So it would be easy for the veteran deadeye to want to overhaul some of his teammates’ jumpers. But that’s not Korver’s style.
“He’s got a really good sensitivity about not wanting to remake somebody’s shot during the year, but also offering a little nugget here and there,” Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. “It’s not just with shooting but in general.”
That desire to add to his team's success without disrupting it is one of the reasons the players in the Utah Jazz locker room think Korver is deserving of the NBA’s Teammate of the Year Award, despite arriving in Salt Lake midseason.
