2016 Outlook

In 2016 I expect Evan Fournier to take on the sixth man role off the bench. If the Magic do indeed decide to let Tobias Harris, walk the Magic will be mighty thin at the three spot.

Fournier could conceivably take up all of the backup wing minutes thanks to his size, and Orlando could force the ball into his hands when he works with the bench unit. When intertwined with the starters Fournier can space the floor unlike Aaron Gordon.

Fournier has a similar skill set to that of former sixth man of the year Manu Ginobli. While Fournier is obviously an inferior player to Ginobli, he does have the skill to play the same kind of playmaking scorer role off the bench.

The Magic need scoring off the bench and it is my belief they will rely heavily on Fournier for this needed scoring punch.
