Apparently Evan Fournier is all time historically…

[nickagneta]

The sample size is 15 games, 4 of which he barely played in his rookie season and averaged just 4 field goal attempts per game.

I read nothing into this.

Also every single game in that sample is from a series in which Fournier's team was woefully outmatched.  He's never been in a series where his team had comparable firepower / talent to the opponent.

I will be happy if he shows some more aggression and looks like the third option.

Yeah I’m gonna say it, this seems like a waste of the TPE. He looks like a fish out of water. Very passive and cannot stay in front of his man on defense. Good stats bad team guy, just not consistent enough. He’s not a bad player by any means but it feels like management were looking at his potential contract as much as his talent.

Currently our second leading scorer tonight and has been our third leading scorer this series on elite shooting from 3. Nobody can stay in front of the Nets big 3, so that's a bit of a null point. He's also been our best player this 4th quarter.

Weird time for this post

I thought the same thing.  He’s meant to be our fourth option, and he’s played pretty well against superior competition.

Bad in the playoffs.

According to Bill Simmons

Fournier has played 15 playoff games and his playoff PER 6.8. Only three guys can qualify for these parameters (see below), the other two are Stephon Marbury and OJ Mayo (since 1970).

* have played at least 10 games
* minimum 25 min each game
* have to had scored at least 9 ppg
* shoot under 36%

Dont bring him back

Same here. Considering all the things he went through with coming over mid season and getting covid etc, he hasn’t been bad. Cs should make him a priority to re-sign for like $18-20 mil per. He’s going to be their 6th man off the bench next year.

Never been a big fan of him and haven’t seen enough to change my mind as of yet. Scoring points when the game is already over doesn’t mean anything. He has been a non factor basically the whole series. His passive demeanor really bothers me. That’s one of the biggest problems with this current roster. Toughness

He had 18 pts and shot nearly 50% from the field tonight. 48% from 3pt and 90% from the line in this series. Not sure what more you want from a guy that was supposed to be a 4th option when they traded for him.

[ozgod]

For the right money I think he’d be a solid addition to our team. His defense is definitely a weak point but he was brought in to be a 6th man and bolster the bench and I think he would be great at that.

Dont waste 12-15m per on him

Simple

He is like another Smart. Too streaky for my blood

Also like you said... poor defender

He tries but is limited

[footey]

Sounded pretty noncommittal about returning tonight.

Fair enough. There'll be plenty of suitors where his role will be much more well-defined
