When we were playing with Jonathan Isaac, we were always one of the top 10 defensive teams
(Even though Vucevic, Fournier and DJ Augustin were 3 of our 5 starters)

I just can’t picture any scenario someone being out this long comes back and is a dominant force. Most likely scenario is he plays a month and is back on the shelf

Watch him just show up and completely wreck the league from how much time he’s had to work on his game.
Although realistically he’s spent a lot of his free time on other bullshit. I think he’ll def make an impact though.

I don’t think anyone has forgotten. They’ve just moved on.
And while I’m excited to see what he brings for the team let me ask you this: Do you think he’s gonna be good enough to unseat any one of Wendell, Franz or Paolo from the lineup long term?
And no the answer isn’t play them all together. This team needs spacing and shooting more then anything else. Isaac provides neither of those.

Fultz/Franz/Paolo/Isaac/WCJ is the best lineup we could field. Im excited as hell

If anyone is expecting this type of output from Isaac after blowing his knee out twice, you’re setting yourself up for disappointment.
Look at D Rose pre and post knee injury. Bring your expectations back down to earth and just pray he isn’t sidelined again anytime soon,

JI at the 5 with Paolo & Franz at 4 & 3. Get Bol Bol to play the 2, Fultz at 1 & you’ve got a team.

Isaacs!

Someone forgot to include the disgusting block on Embiid.

Never have I seen a shift in liking someone as much as JI the last couple days lol
busterak47
nobody forgot lol there’s always tons of comments like “imagine Paolo and Franz with DPOY Jon Isaac!!!” “League fucked once The Minister of Defense comes back!!!”
if anything we need to pump the brakes and be patient because JI is probably gonna be rusty and definitely be on a minutes restriction. And I’ll happily eat these words if I’m wrong.

Same boat as you here. I’m still just patiently waiting. Glad he gets to play for G league(? not sure) in the meantime for prep.
yoeyz
Of course fournier getting toasted on defense

I really saw “Magic fans” on /r/nba saying his defense was overrated and that he wasn’t DPOY level just because of the sample size like we hadn’t seen 75 games the season before of him being impactful. He was absolutely on his way to at least all 1st team.
