KYLE KORVER
Scouting report
+ Long-range shooting wing with good size. Good shooter off
curls.
+ Struggles in one-on-one defense but solid overall. Strong
and has fast hands.
+ Won't create own shot but can post up small wings. Good
court vision.
Analysis
Korver remains deadly from outside, nailing 43.4 percent of
his 3s and 40.2 percent of his long 2s to finish fifth among
shooting guards in true shooting percentage. What I
particularly liked was that two-thirds of his shots were 3s;
in past seasons too many of his tries were long 2s. Chicago
ran fewer pin-downs for him with the second unit and his usage
rate dropped because of that, but he has shown he can be an
absolutely deadly sniper.
However, it would be nice if he could get to the basket once
in a while. Or even once a week. Korver had 15 shots in the
basket area the entire season, which is pathetic, and as you
might imagine he had a low free throw rate, too. That puts a
ton of pressure on him to shoot at a very high percentage, a
category that's very volatile from year to year. On a more
positive note, he's very good finding open teammates when
opponents race out to him on the perimeter, and his pure point
rating was among the best of any wing player.
Defensively, Korver isn't somebody you'd want to leave on an
island against good scorers, but he's a good team defender who
has fast hands, plus he's big enough to bang with larger wings
inside. His rebound rate is poor for a player of his size, but
he had good Synergy numbers and the Bulls performed just as
well with him on the court.

Louis Williams
Scouting report
+ Small, shoot-first guard with outstanding quickness and
awesome shot fake.
+ Draws fouls, creates shots and won't turn it over. Poor
vision. Middling shooter.
+ Too small to guard 2s, but can defend 1s when paired with a
bigger point guard.
Analysis
Williams led the Sixers in scoring and PER despite coming off
the bench, though he remains more of a high-volume producer of
not terribly high-quality shots. The secret to his value is in
his miniscule turnover rate. Williams created all these shots
while producing the lowest rate of any point guard and among
the lowest in the league. The Sixers set a record for fewest
turnovers by a team last season, and Williams was a major
reason. Of course, critics would say one reason he never
turned it over is that he never tried to pass -- only five
point guards had a lower assist rate.
However, Williams' ordinary TS% and assist numbers mean that
his best use is still to create shots for second units that
lack other scorers. The pinnacle of this was the
"Lou-for-one," his hell-bent runs at the end of quarters to
get two shots to the opponent's one any time the Sixers had
the ball with 35 seconds or so left. That said, he also helped
himself with a career-best 36.2 percent mark on 3-pointers,
and as usual used his great shot fake to draw plenty of fouls.
Defensively, Williams rarely fouled and was quick enough to
defend opposing point guards, but the real reason it worked is
because Jrue Holiday could play the 2. Williams is an odd
player to fit into a lineup because he can't defend the
shooting guard but he's not a true point guard. This worked on
Philly's roster, but it remains to be seen how well it will
function in an Atlanta backcourt consisting entirely of other
small guards.
But don't let that obscure the big picture. Guards with 20
PERs don't grow on trees, and Philly made a mistake in letting
this one go during his prime.

Jodie Meeks
Scouting report
+ Shooting specialist who excels at trailing for transition
3s. Money from the line.
+ A bit undersized for the 2 and an average athlete but very
solid defensively.
+ Good at up-faking for fouls. Rarely fouls on D. Low-mistake
specialist.
Analysis
Meeks had a bit of a setback in his third season, as his
3-point shot wasn't nearly as deadly (36.5 percent) and his
free throw rate plummeted. As an offensive specialist, this
was not welcome news and resulted in losing his starting job.
While Meeks had the lowest turnover ratio of any shooting
guard, he wasn't asked to do a whole lot -- only three
shooting guards had a lower usage rate -- and that role
requires an exceptional TS%. His 55.1 mark didn't cut it.
For a specialist, however, Meeks did the other things pretty
well. His 46.8 percent mark on 2s was above the average for
his position, he draws some fouls and he's not a bad
rebounder. Defensively he was solid, as well. While he's a bit
undersized for the 2, the Sixers gave up 1.8 fewer points per
100 possessions with him on the court and opposing shooting
guards mustered only an 11.1 PER against him according to
82games.com; Synergy also rated Meeks as an above-average
defender.

Elton Brand
Scouting report
+ Slow-footed big man with a devastating midrange jump shot
off the pick-and-pop.
+ Has lost speed and athleticism. Decent handle for his size.
Struggles to finish in the paint.
+ Strong, smart team defender but overmatched against good
post scorers.
Analysis
Subjectively, Brand lost more zip last season than the stats
show -- he looked a bit tired and heavy all season, and he
failed to make much of an impact in the playoffs.
Statistically, however, you'd have a hard time proving it.
Brand again put up a very solid PER and his defensive stats
remain world class.
Brand may be the most underrated player in the league in this
regard. He had the best Synergy grade on the Sixers, the
league's No. 3 team in defensive efficiency, and among the
best overall at his position. Philly gave up 2.8 points per
100 possessions less with him on the court, and he was fifth
among power forwards in blocks per minute and 17th in steals.
While he's undersized and he struggles against long jump
shooters (like, say, Kevin Garnett, his foe in the second
round of the playoffs), he was extremely effective in every
other situation.
Offensively, Brand's torrid midrange shooting of a season
earlier cooled off some, as he made "only" 44.7 percent of his
jumpers beyond 10 feet. Those attempts comprised nearly
two-thirds of his shots, as he rarely posts up anymore and
when he does it's for a turnaround jumper. Because of that his
free throw rate was among the lowest at his position, but his
assist and turnovers were well above the league norm for power
forwards, and overall he was a helpful offensive player.

Nikola Vucevic
Scouting report
+ Seven-footer with soft touch and deep shooting range. Hangs
out on the perimeter.
+ Good rebounder but not a great athlete. Mediocre defender
who fouls too much.
+ Won't turn it over but never draws fouls. Decent strength
but not overtly physical.
Analysis
Vucevic had a very good start to his rookie season before his
shots stopped finding the net, and by the end of the playoffs
he was out of the rotation entirely. The key stat for Vucevic
is his brutal 46.2 TS%; only six centers were worse. For an
offensive-minded player, this was a bit of a disaster.
The problem for Vucevic is that he shot a lot of jumpers and
mostly missed them. He made only 35.7 percent outside 10 feet,
and nearly half his shots came from out there. With so much
pick-and-pop business, he rarely got to the line, ranking dead
last among centers in free throw rate. The lone positive was
that he never turned the ball over, as he was fourth among
centers in turnover rate.
Vucevic surprised on the boards, where he was in the top third
of centers, and defensively he wasn't bad for a rookie -- with
some experience and more physicality he should be decent. He
had a high foul rate, however, and he's not a shot-blocker.
Sum it up and it appears the Sixers inadvertently drafted the
second coming of Spencer Hawes.

Moe Harkless
Scouting report
+ Long, athletic, quick combo forward who can run the floor
and jump.
+ Needs more strength and a better motor. Mediocre outside
shooter.
Analysis
The Al-Farouq Aminu of this year's draft, Harkless lured the
Sixers, and then the Magic, with his athleticism and length
despite the clear holes remaining in his game. The best lines
in his résumé are his high rates of blocks and steals, which
indicate that his length could be a real asset on defense if
he could add strength and compete more.
Harkless is only 19, and rebounded decently as a collegian
given his size disadvantage. Nonetheless, it's going to be
harder for him to round out his skills to be a good pro if he
isn't capable of playing regularly, and I'm not sure he's good
enough to crack a rotation right now. His offensive metrics
seem well behind the curve.
