Jonathan Isaac has been turning heads with his recent level of play for the Orlando Magic.
I don't want to overreact but here goes... I think Jonathan Isaac is really starting to figure it out. He's been getting better incrementally, but over the last month he's taken a major step forward. The offense is starting to catch up with the defense.

Jonathan Isaac finishes with 20 points, 7 rebounds, and 3 blocks.
— The Lando (@TheLando__) February 13, 2019
Isaac is averaging 13 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 blocks over his last 11 games.
Tonight was the 79th game of Isaac’s career, this is great progress for a player who still doesn’t have 82 games under his belt.
New career high for @jisaac_01.

20 points with a quarter to go.
