Getting to know your 2012 NBA Draft prospects: Meet Evan Fournier, the top international prospect in the upcoming draft. Fournier is a 19 year old, 6’-7” SG from France.

Miami isn’t usually big on drafting Euros, but they could choose to stash him overseas for a year or two. The other four clubs mentioned could do the same or use him as a role player for a season, maybe two, until he physically matures.

As their teams struggled, they were finally given a chance, and became overnight sensations as they turned their teams into winners. Here’s a rough comparison: Lin Vs. Tebow As NY’ers we’re prone to Linsanity. But we still love our Tebow time too. Still, Linsanity is crazzzzy.
