Fantasy Analysis
Korver has scored in double figures in three of his last five games, and his connecting from downtown at a 45.7 percent clip. He's averaging 13.8 points and 4.2 rebounds over that span. The Bulls have Korver on the court in crunch time for his 3-point shooting and that's why he has Fantasy value in deeper category-based leagues. Continue to view him as a low-end guard in those formats. (Updated 02/05/2012).

Andre Iguodala helped the Philadelphia 76ers stamp themselves as a rising threat in the East, scoring 19 points and grabbing nine rebounds in a 98-82 victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night.
Korver had a bit of a disappointing campaign in his first year with the Bulls in 2010-11. While he remained healthy the entire season, he averaged just 8.3 points with 1.8 rebounds while seeing about 20 minutes per contest. His shooting percentages were about on average with his career marks as he made 43.4 percent of his shots, including 41.5 percent from beyond the arc. He should be more comfortable heading into his second season in Chicago but his inability to play defense limits his role a bit. Still, he led the league in 3-pointers in the fourth quarter a year ago, and will be counted on to do the same in 2011-12. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect anything besides 3-point shooting from the 30-year-old so consider Korver a low-end option in Rotisserie formats on Draft Day. (Updated 8/28/11)
