How Isaac performs is relevant because he went one pick later. But that's for down the road I just figured most here liked him during the draft process so it would be harmless to follow up on recent draft targets.

As for his performance I couldn't tell you how many points he scored what impressed me was how he scored. I'm not concerned with volume or usage in SL, show me what tools you have in the bag and Isaac showed me something today.

I've liked what I've seen so far. Also, in his first two games he's played exclusively at PF and some C from what I could tell. I think the Magic know what they're doing with him.

He looked much more together and comfortable than last game. He is offensive game is limited to the catch, one dribble and pull up and offensive boards and lobs but if he can get you 15pts and 8rebs a night doing that as a rookie that is solid. He has just scratched the surface. The key for him is if he can develop enough physically before his thin frame gets him hurt. Every time he gets the ball I'm scared someone will fall into him wrong and ...I won't even say it cuz I like him too much.

I'm worried about his strength at PF. One play he took the ball inside and ran into a Bam wall. Isaac hit the deck and I swear Bam didn't feel a thing.

But defensively he's been able to hang around the basket and use his length to his advantage.

Yep... and the strength issue isn't long term so his upside is looking phenominal.

I saw a Dirk fade away. If he can make those kinds of shots with his length, watch out!

I know, right! That one foot fadeaway is clean. I'll be watching him like we drafted him or something. Just like the kid. Felt the same way about Frank Ntilikina coming into summer league but he is already sidelined with the knee.

Can you imagine if they forced these kids to play 2 yrs in college or be atleast 20-21 to enter the league the kind of ball we'd see. As it is they're first 2 yrs in the league are baby steps for most but you get to see them literally grow into the pro game like Giannis did.
