Orlando Magic: 5 options for pick No. 6 in 2017 NBA Draft

3. Jonathan Isaac, SF/PF, Florida State

College stats:  32 GP, 12.0 PPG, 7.8 RPG, 1.2 APG, 1.0 3’s, 1.2 STL, 1.5 BLK, 1.5 TOV, 50.8 FG%, 34.8 3PT%, 78.0 FT%

If the Magic want to continue their streak of drafting athletic freaks who can’t really shoot, then Jonathan Isaac is their man. The former Seminole shot under 35.0 percent from three during his freshman year; over his final 12 games as a collegiate, he made just 30.0 percent of his heaves from deep.

Recently, The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor wrote about why Orlando should avoid Isaac come June 22. In his own words:

"“I think the Magic should pass on Isaac, unless there is no better, higher-upside prospect available…Considering Isaac’s physique, some of the comparisons being thrown out make sense. But what made Giannis special as a prospect was his feel, dexterity, fluidity, and ball-handling ability. Brandon Ingram is another reference point, but Ingram demonstrated tremendous instincts and passing vision in college. Isaac hasn’t yet showcased any of these qualities…With the sixth pick, they should take a swing on a player who can become the man, not one of the guys.”"

All salient points, for sure. Nonetheless, Isaac has the potential to be a special defender. He is a one-man pick-and-roll destroyer who can protect the paint and use his agility to switch onto guards on the perimeter. A lineup of Payton-Terrence Ross-Isaac-Gordon-plus another athletic rookie on the wing would wreck havoc defensively.

Isaac may not be the sexy pick, but the Magic’s defense needs as much of a face-lift as their offense does. For that reason alone, he has a strong case to be the guy at No. 6.
