2017 NBA Manifesto
Evan Fournier
SG/SF, 6’7, 205lbs, 24 years old, 5 years of experience
Due to the team around him, Fournier got more shots and more scoring opportunities than befit his talent. A career-worst three-point percentage perhaps speaks to the extra defensive pressure he faced as the de facto go-to guy, and although he still tried to get to the rim and assume this pressure, it was reflected in his efficiency (with a nagging wrist injury also probably partly responsible). More importantly, the defence was particularly poor. That can’t be blamed on having to take the toughest match-ups - he was taken off of those. And that also can’t be blamed on the wrist.
Player Plan: Four years and $68 million remaining, with a player option in the last year. Needs to make improvements to be worth it, but worth keeping for now.

2012 NBA Draft Diary
Pick 20: The NBA draft usually attracts some form of xenophobia, which this year's broadcast has so far lacked. But an opportunity presents itself when the first truly international player, Evan Fournier, is picked by Denver in an apparent draft-and-stash. Denver once took a foreign bust in the first round, so it follows that because Skita was bad, so will be Fournier. Danilo Gallinari? Danilo Schmallinari. Europe sucks. Or something like that.
Fran Frascilla finally has a shiny new toy to play with, but isn't especially fawning of Fournier, other than to cite his potential. This is fair enough since Fournier, while thoroughly projectable, is the rawest player picked so far other than perhaps Harkless and Drummond.
A group of French people are shown. They are promptly booed for being French.
