Atlanta Hawks fans will be pleased about their team’s latest hire.
Shams Charania of The Athletic reported on Tuesday that the Hawks are finalizing the hire of ex-NBA sharpshooter Kyle Korver to their front office.
Korver, 41, played for 17 seasons in the NBA, including five in Atlanta from 2012 to 2017. He was a beloved Hawk, making the All-Star team in 2015, a year that was also the winningest season in Hawks franchise history. Korver is remembered as one of the most accurate, productive three-point shooters to ever play in the league — his 2,450 career triples rank fifth all-time, and his 42.9 percent career mark from deep ranks tenth.
Since retiring as a player, Korver had served as a player development coach for the Brooklyn Nets. Now he is set to join a Hawks front office that is run by one of his old contemporaries in the NBA.
