The problem is his role in the offense is to play a 2 man game off Randle. If Randle is an inside / outside threat it creates more opportunities for EF. The inconsistency of Randle makes it tough on Fournier. To some degree it has worked the other way too - when Fournier doesn't hit it can make Randle less effective. But I think the most obvious drop off from where expectations where set is with Randle.
His last 5 games have been better - but we are 1-4 in those games. I acknowledge it is hard to separate thoughts on Fournier from Kemba. With both in the SL, they are atrocious. I can't help but think that he is categorically the best player on a bad team. I may be unfairly targeting Fournier (I've already written Kemba off), but the Starting Lineup is broken and I am looking for something to change it.
