LAKELAND, Fla. – Lakeland Magic fans didn’t have to wait very long to get a close-up view of Jonathan Isaac and what makes him such an intriguing young player.
Back in action Friday while on a G League assignment after missing Orlando’s last 23 games and 40 of the last 43 contests due to an ankle injury, Isaac’s first 30 seconds was a nourishing reminder of why he was chosen sixth overall in last June’s draft and why he can be a difference-maker down the road.
First, after Lakeland’s opponent, the Maine Red Claws, misfired on their first shot attempt, Isaac skied high and used his incredible length to collect the rebound.
