Chicago Bulls: 3 best shooters for the team during the 2010’s

2. Kyle Korver, Shooting Guard/Small Forward

As one of the two players on this list among former Bulls from the last decade that is still active with another team in the NBA, the 39-year-old 6-foot-7 and 210 pound wing Kyle Korver was a special shooter during his two seasons in the Windy City. Korver spent some of the prime years of his career as a Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah teammate while the Bulls were a true contender in the Eastern Conference.

Furthermore, Korver is a product of the Creighton Blue Jays hoops program and was a second round pick (51st overall) of the New Jersey Nets way back in the 2003 NBA Draft. The Bulls are one of the six teams that Korver played for in his NBA journey to date. He’s currelty in the midst of his first season with defending MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks.

The two seasons in particular that Korver spent in a Bulls uniform were in 2010-11 and 2011-12. He played in 147 regular season games total in the Windy City. Korver averaged 8.2 points per game in those two seasons, while shooting 43.3 percent from the field, 42.5 percent from beyond the arc, and 86.3 percent from the free-throw line.

That amounted to Korver registering a solid 55.6 effective field goal percentage and 58.4 true shooting percentage in his run with the Bulls. He was at least 10 percent better than the NBA adjusted average in three-point, effective field goal, free-throw, and true shooting percentage during his two years in the Windy City.

To date, Korver still ranks in the top three in franchise history among Bulls guards in three-point and true shooting percentage.
