Evan Fournier

What are your thoughts on Evan this season.

Do you think he deserves the 5 mins he gets a game? Or should he get more?

I would want him to be playing more but in increased minutes he hasn't really shown much, so idk. Just interested in your thoughts.

Opted in the contract of the wrong player.

If we're drafting a wing, I do not see any opportunity for him as a rotation player unless we get a bust of course.

Once Fournier hit the bench in last years playoffs he has not seemed to be the same guy. Fournier has had some solid games, and then some games where he is invisible if not bad, personally I do not mind him getting more minutes. But he has to get his confidence back if he is going to stay in the long term plans.

definitely thought he'd pick up where he left off last spring. but his decision making hasn't really been there. too many questionable shots or driving himself into tough situations. probably forcing things to prove himself instead of just letting them unfold and going with it like last season.

i think he'll still eventually be more dynamic and potentially valuable than hamilton, but he is still very young right now.

i'd keep giving him spot minutes. let him keep learning and earning it in practice....and i'm sure we'll eventually have other injuries in the backcourt and he'll get more opportunities there.

Would you guys take Ersan Ilyasova for him?

I feel like he needs a better chance, but he might have a tough time this year. In some of the games that he has played well in, his minutes have been cut because of some of the veterans in front of him in the rotation. I've noticed a few times that he has come out strong in the first half, and then didn't come off the bench at all which might have had an effect on his confidence. Hopefully Shaw can help him come around because the he clearly has a bit of skill and could really turn into something. I think patients is key with Fournier, because he has the skill but is still very young. It is definitely tough for him to get the time he needs when he has to fight with Foye, Hamilton, Robinson and Miller for time. Unfortunately his in game development will be hard to come by, but that might make him work harder and in the long run, make him a better player.

I'm sure he'll get his shot again, it's a long season. At the same time I think we all lose track that he's still only 21....not too many 21 year old's are seasoned, developed players. J-Ham is two years older than Evan and is now only coming up.
