Told you he'd bounce back.

For the record, who is the best player on the Lebanese team?

Whoa whoa whoa, baby steps!!

RJ coulda done this against the local grandma’s afternoon bridge league and we’d still be happy it actually occurred, right?

Gotta wonder if this raises or lowers EF's trade value.

Mostly I was referring to France as a team.

EF has shown he can still shoot it while not offering much on defense, so he has done his job as far as the trade market goes.

So many highlights are of people driving right by EF.

Evan can guard wings that's for sure. Evan needs to bulk up and be a back up 4 like a Niang.

I have to tell you, I thought Fournier was better at defense than he has shown recently, especially when the Knicks signed him. Completely disappointed.

Don’t know if he dropped off or people like me just pegged him wrong.

So that he can do what? Play horrid defense at the backup 4? Get posted up and then posterized at the 4? I don’t get your obsession here.

Why would Fournier get minutes over guys like RJ or Josh Hart in this scenario?

It's not an obsession. Just trying to get some use out of him while he is here. He is a very good offensive player. Might he be able to exploit his offensive game against a 4 and minimize his defensive negatives against a 4 ? Hey I am trying to be positive .. if he can't do it he returns to 13 man, no biggie. Put your rotten tomatoes down.

Thibs has already shown us how he values Fournier and it’s shackled to the bench. The FO will most likely use his expiring contract in a trade, they have all but told us that.

But feel free to keep asking that same question in multiple threads over multiple weeks as you please, nothing wrong with that in my book.

Evan is of course not responsible for the below but he is certainly very entwined with it

EF gives up 2 points for every point he scores.

To take his game to the next level, he needs to figure out how to score less than 0 points.

It ain't rocket surgery.

Is France missing any key players? I don’t even know

Until he is gone I will root for him and all Knicks players. I know the reality of it but I like to root for our guys while in our uniform. So might as well speak something positive to the universe. Light a candle instead of cursing the darkness for Evan.

C'mon son! Don't act like you didnt no Frank was out with another leg injury! Seriously, they had no Wemby. Also, Embiid has apparently been flirting with playing for team France in the Olympics.
