Flop: Evan Fournier

Evan Fournier was a round 1 draft pick by the Nuggets back in 2012.

Fournier is coming off of a career-high season in scoring and to the dismay of many, he hasn't improved on his average of 17.8 points per game from last year.

He drove the Magic's early-season spurt to glory and scored as high as 31 points against the Sixers back in October. However, things have died down in Orlando lately and so is the case with Evan as well.

He played a game-high 40 minutes against the Pistons and came up with 18 points - which is decent but not good enough to help your team edge past the opposition in a tight encounter - shooting a miserable 3-of-9 from the deep.

The Magic starter shot a sub-par 7-of-15 from the field while his teammate Terrence Ross blazed off the bench for 24 points(on 6-of-12 shooting from distance).

Fournier's season average for his year is yet to cross the 15 points per game mark.
