Mo Bamba and Jonathan Isaac are the key to the Magic’s defense

The Orlando Magic have pieces that make them a potentially lethal defensive team.

With Mohammad Bamba, Jonathan Isaac and Aaron Gordon in the front court, and Terrence Ross and Jonathon Simmons on the wing, the Magic have the potential to build one of the best defensive cores in the league.

A lot of that will come down to the play of the rookie Bamba, and second-year man Isaac. Isaac, in limited game time last season, showed off high levels of defensive upside, and the potential to be one of the most versatile defenders in the league.
