5. Evan Fournier, Orlando Magic, Restricted
2015-16 Stats: 15.4 points, 2.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds, 46 FG%, 40 3PT%
Evan Fournier is coming off his best season as a pro and is entering restricted free agency. Fournier proved himself to be a reliable perimeter scorer this year, and continued to showcase his ability to space the floor putting up close the five 3’s a game.
Prior to the season, Fournier rejected a four-year, $32 million contract extension, thereby gambling on himself, and this gamble will pay off as Fournier is sure to sign a more lucrative deal in the upcoming offseason.
Due to the fact Fournier is a restricted free agent, the Magic can match any offer for Fournier, and re-signing Fournier seems to be a top priority for the Magic at this point in time. However, if a different team is willing to sign Fournier to a larger deal in the hopes he will become an even more potent scorer, it is possible the Magic don’t match.
