Orlando

Magic STATS

The recent roster overhaul in Orlando has opened up a ton of opportunities for the players that have remained. The Magic currently have a myriad of young and promising talents on their squad, but if we were to pick one guy who is going to lead this team at least for the immediate future, then it has to be Jonathan Isaac.

Unfortunately for Isaac, a knee injury put an end to his 2019-20 season, which also forced him to sit out the entire 2020-21 campaign. According to reports, however, his rehab has been going according to plan, and he should be good to go for the new season.

At 6-foot-11, Isaac has tremendous length and can be quite a force on the defensive end. He's already shown flashes of brilliance whenever he's on the court. So much so, that there are some who believe that he could have Defensive Player of the Year potential somewhere down the road. As much as he can emerge as an anchor on defense for the Magic, he can score the ball, too. At just 23, the future is extremely bright for Isaac, who figures to be Orlando's cornerstone star of the future.
