Entering this weekend’s action that started the NBA playoffs, there aren’t many people outside of Central Florida who put much stock in the Orlando Magic – but after the first 48 minutes of action, the men from the Sunshine State are being taken seriously, thanks in part to the play of their star youngster and former FSU basketball star Jonathan Isaac.
After spending most of his rookie season injured, Isaac became a major piece of the puzzle on both offense and defense in Orlando this season in helping the Magic get to the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference where they open up in a best of seven series against the Toronto Raptors.
