Great Issac injures right ankle again.

I love to potential that JI has to be a great NBA player and hate the potential he has to spend the majority of his career on the sidelines with ankle problems.

We're going to have to sprinkle some Curry powder on him for those to be great shots for him.  Fournier has never been known as an elite outside shooter.  No one for that matter has been elite at anything other than dunking the past years.  Fournier looks extremely stiff tonight.  Even that open layup looked casual in the lane.  Those type of floaters should look like effortless repetitions from the off season.

 

Currently...he's still -17.  Fournier may be content with the player he is and will never improve.  

 

I'm hoping Hezonja doesn't come out and fully embarrass the Magic decision not to pick up the option.    Please..don't become an all-star!  

Isaac..is once again..injured. I wonder how long this will be a problem.  This is starting to feel like shades of the Grant hill situation.  Only earlier. 

 

 

This isn't true at all

Ok..which one.  He's shooting..9.1 percent..that's embarassing man. The preseason should  hold no pressure so his shooting shouldn't be this far down for him to be 1-11.  Vucevic has looked great in comparison

Look the preseason isn't really big on efficiency. You're not looking for guys to make shots. You're looking for effort and rotations and learning the offense and different player combinations. 

Fournier won't shoot 9%. It's just rust.

Fournier has been a really good shooter for a while now

But not elite.  He's not 50/40/90 on high volume and high usage.  Which is ridiculous MVP percentages. He hasn't shot 40% on threes last year.  No 50% on shooting overall from the field.  He's 86% last season at the freethrow line.  Klay Thompson has exceed that in one season but Fournier doesn't have the help that Klay has.  

Its whatever...its preseason..but to reiterate...Carryover.

That's an absurd standard though
