One of the prevailing opinions about the future of the Orlando Magic is the team will eventually have to choose between Victor Oladipo and Evan Fournier. The thought is that keeping both will not make sense financially because they both are best at 2-guard, and giving a huge contract to Fournier just to back up Oladipo is a luxury the team might not be able to afford.
That is, unless Fournier can develop into a viable small forward, in which case he could start there and make the money worthwhile.
Friday night’s 113-110 loss at the Milwaukee Bucks showed why that proposition might be dicey on the defensive end and why this critical decision seems to be coming to a head as the season closes.
