Jonathan Isaac — F, Florida State

Jonathan Isaac has one of the highest ceilings in this class. It is not hard to see the similarities, at least physically, to Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks.

Although the ceiling is sky-high, many feel Isaac is a long-term project. There is a chance Orlando is not in the market for a player like Isaac. Still, he has the skills to be one of the best players in the draft if he lands in the right situation.

Isaac is a unique prospect. The near seven-footer has great mobility and can run the floor like a guard. His tremendous wingspan and reach allow him to finish over the top and shoot over defenders.

Add on a smooth shooting stroke, it is easy to see what this young man can become.

The negatives on Isaac have much do to with his weight. He weighs in just more than 200 pounds and will have to put on plenty of muscle if he is going to play in the frontcourt. He will get taken advantage of by stronger players early on in his career.

Orlando may not be in a position to take the risk and draft Isaac, but they will have to be patient if they decide to pull the trigger. He has the skillset to be a building block for the franchise, Orlando will have to continue to be patient if Isaac is to be successful.
