Evan Fournier joined the Magic in 2014 in a trade for Arron Afflalo. He is slowly evolving into the first offensive option of this Magic team. The 2016 season was his best so far in Orlando, averaging 15.4 points on 40.0 percent 3-point shooting.

Fournier had some serious competition for the starting shooting guard spot in Victor Oladipo. The Magic decided Fournier is the team’s player of the future rather than Victor Oladipo and handed him the five-year, $85-million deal this offseason. The fact Oladipo was Magic’s second overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft makes you realize the Magic bet a lot of chips on Fournier.

He can still go up in this list. And he will most likely do so as his game develops. He is not the best player in any particular aspect of the game, rather an all-around presence.

His Magic legacy will depend on the team’s success in the forthcoming years. If surrounded with the right fit of players, he can be a very dangerous option, perhaps even an All Star.
