Phoenix Suns Draft Watch: Jonathan Issac

The Florida State freshman forward is compared by NBADraft.net to former Seattle SuperSonics legend Rashard Lewis. Lewis came into the 1998 NBA draft directly from high school after shunning a heavy recruiting effort by Florida State. The unprepared Lewis fell from lottery expectations all the way to the 32nd overall pick where Seattle mercifully rescued him from the green room.

Unfortauntely jump straight to the NBA makes it impossible to compare Issac with Lewis statistically, but there are physical similarities in both height and weight. Both are 6’10” and Lewis ended his career at 235 lbs while Issac is currently around 210 lbs.
