ShareDraft Night Acquisitions Willie Green and Kyle Korver Sign
Philadelphia 76ers President and General Manager Billy King announced on Friday, August 8, 2003 that the Sixers have signed Willie Green and Kyle Korver, both second round selections in the 2003 NBA Draft acquired by Philadelphia via draft-night trades on June 26. Per team policy, terms of the contracts are not disclosed.
Green, selected by Seattle with the 41st pick in the 2003 Draft, was Reebok Pro Summer League in Boston.
Korver, selected by New Jersey with the 51st pick in the 2003 Draft, was traded to the Sixers for an undisclosed amount of cash on draft night. A 6-foot-7, 210-pound forward known for his long-range shooting ability, Korver connected on a school-record and Missouri Valley Conference record 371 career three-pointers. An AP Second Team All-America selection as a senior, he finished second in the nation in three-point field goal percentage (48.0 percent) and ninth nationally in free throw percentage (90.8 percent). Boasting a 45.3 career three-point field goal percentage (371-819), Korver averaged 14.1 points per game during his four-year collegiate career and ranks fifth all-time in scoring (1,801) at Creighton
In 10 summer league games with the Sixers, Korver averaged 8.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, while connecting on 42.9 percent (15-35) from long range. He led the Reebok Rocky Mountain Revue by connecting on a league-best 63.6 percent (7-11) from three-point range.
