” I’m not going to lie, I’m getting stiff on the bench now, because I’m a little older. My knees can’t take it anymore! » Evan Fournier prefers to smile but his situation at the Knicks gets more complicated game after game. The Frenchman was dropped from the New York five earlier this month, in favor of Cam Reddish.
This adjustment was made as the fullback had a sluggish start to the season averaging less than 11 points with 40% shooting success. Since he has been a substitute, his production has plummeted: barely 3 points on average with… 20% on shots in 15 minutes of play.
During his last outing against OKC, he did not return a shot (0/5) or scored a single point. Cumulating with his previous game against the Pistons, the back is 0/10 on shots in two games.
” The thing is, when you only shoot three times a game… It adds up, it adds up. And at the end of the season, you look at your percentage and it’s not good. But it’s hard to find rhythm right now. The fact of not knowing the rotation, what comes back to me, etc. I gotta do better and be in the moment, be ready for anything “, however, judges the 30-year-old player.
This one says to have no reason to talk openly with Tom Thibodeau about his situation, he didn’t do it anyway. ” It’s not about me, it’s about us, about winning games. And yeah, I’ll try to do my best with what I have. A speech already posted about ten days ago.
For him to come off the bench, “ that’s no excuse at all. I just have to fend for myself to be able to help the team. That’s all I can say, really. »
