Former FSU basketball forward Jonathan Isaac was drafted by the Orlando Magic with the No. 6 overall pick Thursday night. We have the fan reaction.
FSU basketball knew it had a NBA Draft lottery pick in Jonathan Isaac, the only question was which team was going to draft him.
It didn’t take long as Isaac went off the board with the No. 6 overall pick.
It appears the Orlando Magic fans were not happy with the selection as they responded via social media with a vengeance.
It was surprising since Isaac played college ball at FSU, but obviously they are not familiar with what he brings to the table.

Thoughts
I can understand wanting Malik Monk because of his scoring prowess, but that’s really all he would bring to the table.

Isaac has more tools in his arsenal. He can rebound, defend multiple positions, block shots and should evolve into a more potent scoring threat as he body matures and he becomes more aggressive. Orlando fans may
