FORWARD JONATHAN ISAAC

Florida State basketball accomplished another feat of grabbing a five-star prospect in the Leonard Hamilton era. Forward Jonathan Isaac was a dominant presence in the 2016 cycle from IMG Academy.

Isaac had 12 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals, and 1.5 blocks during his lone year with the Seminoles during the 2016 season. While it didn't seem like much statistics, the talented forward showed flashes of being successful.

Isaac played with the talented forward Dwayne Bacon. I wish that the squad would have gotten past the Xavier Musketeers that year in the NCAA Tournament. The Orlando Magic ended up drafting Jonathan Isaac with the 6th overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.

It was one of the best prospects that Hamilton had ever coached during his time at Florida State. I wished that he had more years with the Seminoles.
