I voted for Ross. The numbers aren't gaudy, but I thought he had a really good night. The team looked best when he was on the floor.

Others that garnered consideration:
- Fournier hit three massively important shots down the stretch, but up until that point, I thought he was rather poor.
- Vucevic was alright, but Whiteside abused him at times on the glass.
- Payton was solid.

Gotta go with Evan, he stepped up in the clutch and put the team on his back. Big shots to put the game away.

We don't win this game without a lot of guys, but had to go with Evan for his clutch play when their defense tightened up in the fourth. I have a feeling we will see a lot of games like this this year. Great win and great game to build off of. Keep grinding!

Fournier was too clutch... stopped the bleeding and finished it for us.

I suspect Fournier will win this because of the clutch baskets, but Ross was the difference maker to me tonight.

Probably his best defensive game as a member of the Magic.

Had to go with Fourny with the clutch play. EP, Ross and Vooch all were very good in several ways, but Evan clinched the game.

Fournier 100% earned it. He did exactly what he's here for.

Fournier for me! Made clutch baskets when Heat made it close.

Evan was the closer. He gets it.

Even apart from the clutch buckets, I really liked what I saw from More Champagne defensively. That’s his one aspect that’s stopped me from embracing him as our future SG. If he keeps looking good defensively, the shooting slumps will be significantly more bearable for the Magic.

Great thing about this is that every single player made a positive impact, even DJ who's the only one left off this poll. Gotta give it to Fournier for his clutchness, but you can argue quite a few players were deserving.

Evan is going to win this vest and rightfully so because he was the man in the 4th quarter. Had ice water in his veins on every single one of those clutch baskets. I voted for T-Ross because I felt his defense and shot making and decision making were outstanding in the 2nd half and was a game changer for us.

Yeah, i was pleasantly surprised by his D last night, a very encouraging sign.

I voted for Evan too, he was used the right way and delivered. When he's not asked to create too much, he usually does well offensively. We need to keep Payton as the main ballhandler and use Evan like last night.

Evan. Without him being clutch late in the game, we probably fumble the lead and lose.
