Evan Fournier

Years Experience: 5
Career Averages: 12.3 points, 37.9 Three Point Percentage

Formerly seen as a 3-point specialist, Evan Fournier had a mixed 2017 season.

He averaged a career-high 17.2 points per game, but he shot a career-worst in 3-point percentage and his overall efficiency decreased.

While he can be a competent scorer, there is a perception around the league Fournier is a poor defender. Additionally, when the ball is out of his hands, he can sometimes disappear without a trace.

It will be difficult for Fournier to prove himself better than he is already regarded without the Orlando Magic becoming better as a team.

If the team starts playing well, expect for the league to view Fournier far better by people.

But if Orlando struggles again, then the 24-year old’s reputation will continue to be linked with a losing side.
