I say what's cooler.... Than being cool??

ICE COLD.

In all seriousness though that was just 2 mins, JAMON LEE. even LeBron airballs his free throws sometimes.
Favorite Magic players of all time:
1. Dennis Scott
2. Andrew Nicholson
3. Anthony "no-neck" Johnson

Those 2 games were crazy, ambiance was electric
Fournier is really doing the job. Got other tickets for the 2 finals, this stadium is awesome (easily best stadium in Europe)

This was a foul, but he had good defense in transition earlier. His game feels very limited. He gives it all on D, but on offense he lets other create, and spots outside 3pt line
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !

Collet should have had Fournier out their to spread the floor at the end. No reason not to.

Timma had another strong game, but the Czechs crushed Latvia in the 7th Place Game.

Fournier and France play Serbia at 8 a.m. EST on Sunday in the Bronze Medal Game.

Fournier with a good game.

Hope he has an injury free season with you guys playing close to 30 mpg.

Can be a really good off the ball scorer from the bench.

Don't think Evan will ever be much more than a spot up shooter, cutter and straight line driver, running an occasional pick and roll.
Suited to be off ball. Will get out in transition.
Needs to be more consistent on D.
Could see a 40 % from 3 season from him, solidifying his good shooting.

Expecting 10-12 ppg on good efficiency this year, coupled with solid defense.
Would excel with an elite playmaker/ PG.

Excited to see the wing combo Fournier and Hezonja off the bench.

Fournier played a tournament-high 22 minutes and scored a tournament-high 15 points, making six of his seven shots and three of his four 3-pointers. He also grabbed five rebounds in France’s win.


Nice finish to his tourney!

He was awesome, shame France got robbed by referees. Pau was a beast in the 2nd phase of tournament
