No. 2 free agent target for the LA Clippers that pairs nicely with Paul George: Evan Fournier

I’m a huge fan of Evan Fournier’s first name, but that’s far from the only reason I’d like to see him team up with Paul George on the LA Clippers next year.

Again, if Kawhi isn’t going to be able to play for a long time, PG needs another wing to pair with him out there who can play a well-rounded offensive game and play D.

That’s Fournier for you. He averaged over a steal per game this year, proving himself on the defensive end. On offense, he’s a great shooter, and the Clippers love great shooters.

He shot a career-high 41.3% from deep this year, and 43.3% from deep in the playoffs this season.

A career 45% overall shooter, he’s a solid scorer, and could put up 20 or more in an offense like the Clippers that values the skillset that he has.
