Korver was an awful pick, Noel probly too early too.

I needed a 3 pter guy. Isn't he one of the best in the league right now?

I liked the pick. Remember it's important to build a team not just collect talent, because that talent needs to mesh.

I know his limits but he is a great addition if you need somone to knock it down whenever he is open. I will add an athletic cutter and have all sorts of threats in my roster, so I don't think it is that bad in the big picture.
Picking best player available is easy. I don't think it is necessary to form a winning team. I think the important thing is to fill the gaps of the puzzle.

Agree. For example u can't just put a tone of ball dominant scorers in one team. There isn't enough shots and so on. A great team has one or two scorers and a few guys with one or two dominant skill sets. Korver is one of the, if not the best three point shooters ever. I remember the Jazz really taking off once they traded for him.

There's one that's better and less of a defensive liability that I'll be taking in 2 picks.

His true shooting % dropped from 0.699 (first in NBA) to 0.578 (18th ranked wing) last year. He was much lower on my board for that reason. But if you believe he bounces back to 2014-15, Korver, it is a steal. I'm doubtful, he's 35 years old.
Yes, I'd take that guy over Korver as well, his defense is very good and underrated since some people don't see past his shooting. A good value pick right now.
That said, Korver's defense has always been under-rated. Struggles with some matchups due to lack of lateral quickness but plays the system very intelligently, plays hard and does not make mistakes. A bit like latter day Hornacek.
