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.

J.R. Smith will best be known as an eccentric individual whose penchant for bad on-court decision-making cost his team a Finals Game, but he was still a coveted role player for years who won two NBA Championships; Cleveland in 2016 and Los Angeles in 2020.

Smith’s individual highlights include finishing in the top ten four times in 3-Point Field Goals, winning the 2013 Sixth Man of the Year, and earning three consecutive Rookie of the Month Awards in 2005.  He won’t make the Hall, but he is more famous than many who did.

A late First Round Pick from Missouri (27^th in 2010), DeMarre Carroll was a journeyman player who had stints for Memphis, Houston, Denver, Utah, Atlanta, Toronto, Brooklyn, and San Antonio, but for a hot second, while he was with the Hawks, it looked like Carroll was about to break out.

Named the Co-Player of the Month in January of 2005, Carroll finished the year fourth in Effective Field Goal Percentage.  Carroll never broke that threshold, but he had five 10-plus Points per Game years, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Professionally, Corey Brewer was a journeyman player who served 13 seasons in the NBA, highlighted by winning an NBA Championship with Dallas in 2011.  He was never close to being an All-Star, but the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame cares about collegiate accomplishments, and Brewer helped lead Florida to win two NCAA Titles while winning a Final Four MVP.

Many Hall of Fame players has three fewer Championships than Brewer.
