Grantland Ranks Kyle Korver as 4th Best Shooter In the NBA

Grantland released its extensive 2014-15 NBA Preview page Wednesday, and it included their list of the top 20 shooters in the league.

Atlanta Hawks guard Kyle Korver ranked fourth on that list behind Dirk Nowitzki, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.

Korver shot an NBA-best 47.2 percent from three-point range last season, the second time in his career that he has led the league in that category.  Grantland's article did not limit criteria to three-point shooting when making the list and noted that the top three players are where they are because of their ability to create their own shots from anywhere on the floor.

It's a fair point, as Korver's strength is spot-up shooting.  Worth noting however, is that Korver shot equally well from two-point range (47.9%) last season, and he had a better overall shooting percentage than Curry.

Here's the complete explanation for how they chose the top 20.

What do you think Hawks fans?  Is Korver's ranking too high, too low or just right?  Let us know in the comment section below.
