I admit I'm starting to come around on buying into Isaac's potential high ceiling, but I still have him behind Jackson and Tatum.
For potential high ceiling, this is a good watch..shows some interesting stuff.

Oh man, for a highlight reel tape, it is very underwhelming. I'm going to post what I find underwhelming...
0:49 - Okay good, he opens up the zone defense with a hard jab fake, goes left. Defender who doesn't look very athletic at all is able to recover, forces Isaac to go back to his dominant hand with a fade away in the paint. Actually think defense did well to recover, Isaac just made a tough shot.
0:56 - What's that? Another hard jab to the right only to drive in the paint going left, being cut off again by his smaller quicker defender. Another fade away jumper in the paint. Same exact move, however it yields the same result, so you can't argue. His gather is relatively slow IMO for someone who is supposedly quick for NBA standards.
1:04 - At least this time he didn't do the hard jab, though it was a similar move, a fake pass that has him driving in the paint using his left hand. He throws up a prayer from the free throw line with two guards reaching in, but the ball goes in. I think he could have easily taken another step and had a clearer shot in the paint.
1:30 - Have the big man isolated in the post, but jacks up a straight away three. I think straight away threes are the least likely of threes to go in. Early in the shot clock, and it goes in with the bank. I doubt he called it. (Yes I'm being nitpicky!)
1:47 - Grabs the rebound, brings the ball up the court. Take a long contested two early in the shot clock. Brandon Knight does this!
Next play, another slight jab to the right, takes one dribble and takes the mid range jumper. Again, big man had the post isolated. Easily could have dumped it off for an easy bucket. Though, maybe their big man sucks so he doesn't pass to him.
4:38 - Another right jab followed up by a one dribble pull-up.
He is too mechanical with his handles and is very very predictable. These highlights aren't showing enough creativeness for me. He did make some nice layups here and there, made some jumpers, and blocked some shots, but nothing that wows or excited me enough to warrant picking him at 4. At 4, I want someone that can potentially change our franchise around. Isaac seems to be a Marvin Williams kind of player, maybe a good glue guy / solid role player for a playoff team.
I will say, he does have very good shooting form.
