Why Evan Fournier is the most indispensable Orlando Magic player

The Orlando Magic have embraced the idea of team balance, but key in that balance has been Evan Fournier’s shooting. The fourth-year swingman is having a career year and his shooting has been the igniter of Orlando’s attack.

Fournier’s usage rate is up to 21.1 percent, which is only a slight increase from last season. He has produced more on virtually the same ratio of possessions.

The difference is Fournier has become a big-minutes player and has shouldered a much larger load this season. He is attempting more than 15 shots per game this season after never attempting more than 10 prior to this year.
