BALLER MOVE: Target Around 90 Overall
CURRENT ADP: 107
ANALYSIS: Evan Fournier was a little fantasy-bouncy last season and the truth is that nobody knows where these Magic are going. Will Fournier still be in Orlando come trade-deadline day? Hard to know. But for now, Fournier looks like one of the best players in the Magic roster and one with both a high playing time and 30-fantasy point per game production.
Fournier finished 2020 averaging a rather low 18-2-3 per-game line to go with 1.1 spg. That's not bad, but other than scoring he didn't do a lot to help his fantasy GMs. None of those GMs should complain about Fournier's volume and shooting efficiency, though. The SG/SF was one of only 23 players to hit 45+ percent of his fga (14.1 attempts per game) and 80+ percent of his fta (3.3 attempts per game). If we bake his 6.6 3pa per game, scored at a virtual 40 percent rate, he becomes one of only eight players with such shooting splits and volume.
Fournier's low ADP is where it is because of his non-shooting game. You should know that, and make your decisions based on his bombing more than anything else. Even then, Fournier shouldn't get past the seventh or eighth rounds of season-long drafts. He's a more than usable fantasy asset that finished last year as the 61st-best player in total fantasy points scored with an average of 29.5 FPPG on the season.

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

Immanuel Quickley (PG, NYK): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 48% of leagues ANALYSIS: If we use common basketball sense, then the New York Knicks and Coach Thibs should try and see what the young guys such as Immanuel Quickley have in them and what they can provide the franchise with ROS, as the NYK are […]
Deni Avdija (SG/SF, WAS): Week 24 Waiver Wire Pickups
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 37% of leagues ANALYSIS: One would reasonably think that a player seeing a playing-time boost such as that of Deni Avdija's this month would make said player drop his efficiency numbers. Well, not the case for the Wiz Wing by the looks of it. Avdija has […]
