I think we really need to be careful not to over rely on this.  It’s not at all the same level of competition as the NBA regular season.  For team USA, these are like exhibition games.  For every other team, it’s mostly not NBA players.

I don't know what this means? Over rely on what? That these stats aren't translatable? Sure, he's not going to be playing in the same role here. 

He's played extremely well today with Marcus Smart and Donovan Mitchell defending him. They aren't taking it like an exhibition

Never too upsetting to see the Celtics lose.

Yeah I was more pro-magic players in this tournament than pro-usa. Especially after Gordon got snubbed

Trying to translate these performances into predictions about how Fournier will play during the season. 

I also wouldn’t pay too much attention to who’s guarding him.  In the all-star game, you have some of the best defenders in the world guarding people and it doesn’t matter at all.  It all depends on effort and intensity, and I don’t believe the USA players take this stuff as seriously as they take NBA games.

We didn’t deserve much support or interest after the baffling roster decisions and inability to secure top players.

Don't want to jinx anything here but I can safely say that a lot if GM’s and coaches around the league has also noticed his level of playing. Just saying...
