PHOTO: Evan Forunier to sport Neymar haircut next season

The Orlando Magic may have acquired more than just Evan Fournier and a pick that became Roy Devyn Marble when they sent Arron Afflalo to the Denver Nuggets in June.

They may have also received the league's best haircut.

On Thursday, Forunier posted a photo of himself sporting a look popularized by Brazilian soccer star Neymar, saying it will be his haircut for next season. We don't believe he'll keep it, but it would hands-down be the league's best mane if he keeps it.

Fournier tagged several of his French national team pals in the photo, with Nicolas Batum of the Portland Trail Blazers responding in French that he agrees with the decision.

As for his Magic teammates, well, they probably don't care what his hair looks like if he can improve on a sophomore season that saw him average 8.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists at age 21. The Magic are deep at point guard, but there`s a real opportunity for Fournier to carve out a role on the wing as part of the team's core moving forward.

Failing that, well, at least he has a sweet mop.
