Jonathan Isaac was drafted with the sixth overall pick by the Orlando Magic in the 2017 NBA Draft. He has elevated Orlando's defense in the paint and is a shot eraser. Nothing gets past Isaac and he is not afraid to rise and defend opposing players’ shots and dunks.
Isaac is famously known for not taking a knee for the Black Lives Matter stance. Back in the NBA Bubble, NBA players wore ‘Black Lives Matter’ t-shirts and took a knee, but Isaac stood tall. He did not stand with the movement because of his faith in Christ and said that he did not believe in “putting that shirt on and that kneeling went hand-in-hand with supporting Black lives.”
In the 2019-2020 NBA season, Isaac had his best season, where he averaged 11.9 points, 2.3 blocks, 1.6 steals and 6.8 rebounds. He shot 47.0% from the field, including a decent 34.0% from 3-point range.
Last week, Isaac played back-to-back games for the first time in nearly four years. Due to an ACL injury, he missed the past two seasons and is still trying to get back to his best. Many Orlando fans expect Isaac to be a defensive force in the near future.
