When Jonathan Isaac has the spark, it is something to behold.
He can shut down some of the best players in the league on the perimeter, using otherworldly length and technique to make up for momentary mistakes and make things hard. His emphatic block of a Joel Embiid block attempt might be the highlight of the 2018 calendar year.
Jonathan Isaac is humble and determined, two traits necessary in a good defender. And coach Steve Clifford has praised his willingness to learn and understand defensive positioning that older players sometimes struggle with.
