Fournier appears to have cemented his spot on the French National Team for this summer's FIBA World Cup, Canal+ reports.
Analysis:
Fournier joined the team during their recent three day exhibition in France, where he averaged 7.6 points in 14.0 minutes while converting an impressive 44.4 percent of his three-point attempts as a reserve. French coach Vincent Collette is deciding between cutting Edwin Jackson or Charles Kahudi, thus confirming Fournier's spot on the roster. Fournier spent the majority of his possessions as a primary ball handler, showcasing a skill seldom displayed during his tenure with the Nuggets. This is clearly a confidence booster for the 21-year-old Frenchman, who was the final cut on last summer's EuroBasket championship team. Next up for the the French team is another three-day tournament, scheduled from August 15th through August 17th.
