15. Evan Fournier, Orlando Magic

This is about as high as we could realistically rank a somewhat one-dimensional player from the Orlando Magic, but there’s no question Evan Fournier can score the rock. Last year, he increased his scoring average again — something he’s done every single season of his six-year career — by averaging 17.8 points per game.

The problem is, Fournier is really the only adequate offensive threat on a bad team, and he doesn’t do much else to contribute to winning basketball. Even on efficient .459/.379/.867 shooting splits, Mr. “Do Not Google” is hardly a lockdown defender, and he only averaged 3.2 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game.

Fournier’s scoring ability alone nearly bumps him into the top half of the league’s starting shooting guards, but because of his deficiencies in the defense, playmaking, rebounding and hair style departments, this is as high as he goes.
