He's been in the league 5 years and has yet to be given a real shot as 'the guy'. Meanwhile it's the same story every season with Fournier and to some extent Vuc leading the team to just enough wins for a mid-level lottery pick. To make matters worse, they keep Fournier to trade both Harris and Oladipo.

Dude... superstar? Come on

The guy could barely dribble or create, how can he be the guy??? He has no elite skills to be the guy, lol.

According to basketball-reference.com, he is only the second player in NBA history, and the first in nearly 57 years, to play at least 37 minutes in a game without any field goals, assists, or rebounds. The only other player to have such a dubious stat line was Guy Rodgers of the Philadelphia Warriors in a game against the St. Louis Hawks on February 22nd, 1962 (Rodgers did make two free throws, though). http://bkref.com/tiny/usJav


The odd thing was that Fournier was one of the few Magicians with a positive +/- stat line. Really odd.

How can a player with an ineffective stat line playing heavy minutes be the only positive force on a team ????

Strange.


always plays with Vuc? lol

That is not the case in this instance, as Vučević has a negative +/- .
