Toronto Raptors: 4 best free agents to target at shooting guard

2. Evan Fournier, Boston Celtics

Fournier has been one of the more reliable scoring guards in the game for the last half-decade, yet he flies under the radar seemingly every year. Putting those numbers up on a Magic team that won just two playoff games in his tenure in Florida and his slow start with Boston this year likely contributed to that.

Fournier was averaging 19.7 points per game with Orlando this year, and that mark would’ve been the highest mark of his career. While he didn’t blow the doors off Celtics fans upon his arrival in Boston, Fournier still has some lethal scoring chops, which could be put to great effect as a Sixth Man or small forward in smaller starting lineups.

Evan Fournier could be a nice veteran add for the Toronto Raptors.

Fournier might be tough to acquire due to the financial situation that could arise if they sign him to a very enticing long-term deal, but they can potentially exceed the salary cap if they sign Trent again due to the fact that they own his Bird rights. If this double-swoop happens, the Raptors could uncork a barrage of 3-point attempts.

Sure, Fournier might not be the best defensive player in the world, and the Raptors still need to beef themselves up in that area, but the combination of Fournier, Fred VanVleet, Trent, OG Anunoby, and a healthy Pascal Siakam all on the floor at one would be vomit-inducing for opposing coaches.
