Notes:

  • Evan Fournier signed with the New York Knicks expecting to be their main wing player. After his first season on a new contract, his coach, Tom Thibodeau, stopped playing him because he felt he was a defensive liability. Two years later, Fournier played in the 2024 Paris Olympics for France and had a very good tournament. His team won the silver medal.
