Evan Fournier

Position: SG/SF

Height: 6-7

Weight: 205

Age: 23

The Orlando Magic reportedly are doing everything they can to keep Fournier with the departure of Victor Oladipo, but he would immediately be inserted into the Sixers’ starting lineup at shooting guard.

He’s a restricted free agent so the Magic would have to match the offer sheet made by an opposing team if they want to keep him around.

Fournier would fill an immediate scoring need in the Sixers’ backcourt to complement the likes of Simmons, Embiid and Okafor. He shot the ball 40 percent from three-point range last season.

In 79 games for the Magic last season, Fournier averaged 15.4 points, 2.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Fournier is coming off of his rookie contract, and with the salary cap rising $24 million, he will be in store for a huge pay-day.
