Could definitely make the case for Vuc, he played great all around. He even played good defense against Davis when he was matched up with him, which Skiles pointed out as well. However, Evan had a huge game and also hit some clutch shots finally. So it should definitely go to him.

Gotta give it to Evan who was popping all sorts of champagne on the Pelicans tonight.

I'll go ahead and say this. Evan is our best player. Vuc is second... all the others have major room for improvement.

Haha those Pelicans announcers were pissed.

He's not our best player, but he's playing the hardest in the most effective way. (Oladipo is playing the hardest, but it hasn't translated to points.) I figured there would be a contract year boost, but nothing like this.

The offense is perfect for him: he can shoot or drive straight to the basket.

Yeah, he's not our best player despite his great play so far. Vuc is still the best and definitely has the most impact on the game. Some of those shots Fournier got were so wide open because of the D focusing on Vuc. That shouldn't take anything away from Evan though, he has stepping up big time and hitting some clutch shots. More than anything, he's driving a lot and hitting some difficult shots and layups in the paint, which has been a problem for our other guards.

Oladipo's 8 FA is a factor

"Pay Me" played angry. That he is hunting for a contract might be the best thing to happen to Orlando this in-season.

Evan should be the unanimous selection, though you could definitely make a case for vucevic. I think Fournier has gained the most individually from Skiles being here. The offense allows him to attack the rim as well as take the 3s when they are there. Great game tonight, and here is to many more under skiles :)

I love the Passion at the end with the Roaring/Yelling . Reminded me of a Lion. A French Metrosexual Lion.

I love that you hear Fournier scream every time he drives. He's doing his best to sell contact, that's for sure!

I'll give this to Fournier, with an honorary vest to Vuc for our 3 losses in which his new found defense has literally been all the difference.

I give it to Vuc despite Evan's career night. Vuc set the tone and did a great job finding players off drivble move or double team passes for open shots.

You got it, Mr. Fourni3r.

Great game by Evan, even though Vuc deserves a lot of credit for having a huge game against AD.

Well, it feels good to put that 1 on the W column.

Sweater vests are back!

I defintely say Evan should win this one. He played huge tonight and hit those two daggers from about the same spot to close this game out.

Hope to see these threads at least 41 more times. :D

I don't believe I saw anyone mention this in the game tread.

Vuc passed out more than a few times to wide open shooters, that was so unselfish, glad to see.

To me the difference between Evan and Victor right now is, Evan isn't forcing the drives. If it's there he takes it.
