    French SG Evan Fournier, 18, became the youngest player in French League history to score more than 20 points in a single game earlier this season.

    "Fournier became the youngest player to score more than 20 points in French League history. He did it at a younger age than NBA Players Tony Parker (San Antonio Spurs), Roddy Beaubois (Dallas Mavericks), Mike Pietrus (Phoenix Suns), Nicolas Batum (Portland Trailblazers), and Boris Diaw (Charlotte Bobcats)."

    The above remark was posted under a YouTube video showing the shot that put him over the top.

    He's an early 2nd Round prospect according to the only site I visit about Mock Drafts (www.nbadraft.net), and if you're familiar with the way I want the Rockets draft to go...

    I want the Rockets to acquire the 33rd Overall pick (from Cleveland) and select Fournier.

    I'm guessing everyone here is only concerned with American players and ridiculous Dwight Howard trade proposals.
    Got it.

    Anyone ever heard of Fournier?
    Have any thoughts about him?

    Ahh I see. Is DraftExpress.com the preferred draft site of ClutchFans?

    About Fournier, is he considered more/less athletic as Parker was when he came from France?

    I like him, but the problem is we need guys who can play and make an impact NOW.

    Draftexpress is far superior to nbadraft.net. Just check their past mocks.

    There are some good stuff over at Fournier's website, including highlights vids & stats comparisons to Tony Parker and Batum at the same age.
    (Also a pic of Fournier with his shirt off, if you're into that. ;))

    I've only seen highlights of Fournier, but with the lack of good SGs in this league, he would seem like a good pick in the 20-30 range.
    He's got some Kevin Martin in him IMO. Might not end up being quite the scorer, but he's probably gonna a better ball handler and be a little bit more off an all-around player.

    Add him to my like list.
