Bulls officially add Korver

Basketball Betting Lines

07/13/2010 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Bulls announced Tuesday they have signed sharpshooter Kyle Korver.

Terms of the contract were not disclosed, but several days ago the Chicago Tribune reported it was a three-year, $15 million deal. Korver, who spent the last two-plus seasons with Utah, joins former Jazz teammate Carlos Boozer in going to the Bulls. Boozer signed with Chicago last week.

Coincidentally, Korver joins a team he once hated.

"I thought Michael Jordan was selfish and I hated the Bulls growing up," Korver said. "I was a Lakers fan. I was actually born in LA, so 'Showtime' basketball is what I grew up watching."

However, he said he came to appreciate Jordan's game more as he worked on his own, and Tuesday, Korver accepted his Bulls jersey with a smile.

"I thought it was the best fit for me," Korver said. "They need some shooting. I'm very comfortable with [Boozer], obviously. I really love the direction this team's going. I feel like I fit in really well."

The 6-foot-7, 212-pound Korver played 52 games for the Jazz last season and shot a league-best 53.6 percent from three-point range, though he averaged just 7.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.

Korver, who spent his first four-plus seasons playing with the Philadelphia 76ers, has career averages of 9.9 points and 3.0 rebounds over 517 contests. He has also shot 41.0 percent from beyond the arc and is an 87.9 percent free throw shooter.

Brandon Roy Favorite to Win 2007 NBA Rookie of the Year

Portland TrailBlazer’s guard, Brandon Roy, is MySportsbook.com’s overwhelming favorite to win the NBA Rookie of the Year odds.

Despite missing 20 games due to an injury earlier this season, Roy has definitely put up the best numbers of his 1st year peers. In 32 games, Roy is averaging 15.3 PPG, 4.2 boards and 3.5 assists in over 33 minutes of play per game. While most rookies breakdown as the season progresses (see Morrison), Roy is only getting stronger as his playing time and scoring average has increased each month.

With 30 or so games left in the regular season, Roy isn’t a lock for the award by any means. Other rookies are putting together some pretty impressive campaigns and a few could give Roy a run for the award with increased playing time. Heading the list is first pick, Andrea Bargnani of the Toronto Raptors. Even though he has started only two games all season, Bargnani is averaging 10.3 PPPG while shooting 35% from deep.

Randy Foye of the Minnesota Timberwolves could be set to give Roy the best competition NBA Rookie of the Year betting lines. With the benching of Mike James, Foye looks like he could be the starter in the T-Wolves backcourt for the rest of the season. So far, Foye has averaged 9 PPG and 2.4 assists in just under 21 minutes per game. With his new role of starter, Foye’s numbers will definitely increase. In his first game as the new starting guard this past Sunday, Foye had 10 points; five rebounds and 8 assists. More importantly, he logged 34 minutes of playing time; his third highest run of the season.

Adam Morrison, of the Charlotte Bobcats, was the favorite early on in the season after averaging 15+ PPG through the first month of the season. Ever since his torrid start, Morrison’s point production has declined each month. This really isn’t surprising, considering at 6’8” he only weighs 205 lbs. Obviously he will need to hit the weights big time during the off-season in order to keep from breaking down in the future.
