[Simons] "Before his ACL injury in the bubble, Isaac was considered the most significant asset to the team (Magic). It was not long ago where he was considered to be a defensive player of the year (DPOY) candidate." Jonathan Isaac should be a sleeper pick for DPOY.

We all know the defensive prowess of Rudy Gobert, Anthony Davis, Giannis, and more, but one player that typically gets left out of this conversation is Jonathan Isaac.

Yes, his injury history has prevented him from being showcased to the league properly, but let's take a look at exactly what he did in the 34 games he played in the 2019-2020 season.

Stats: 11.9pts 6.8trb 1.4ast 1.6stl 2.3blk

Splits: 47/34/78

His offensive aresenal definetly needs some fine tuning, however, Isaac was Top 3 in blocks and Top 5 in steals that season before his injury. In fact, many people even had him as a DPOY finalist before his injury.

Isaac should be ready to go for the start of this coming season, and if he stays healthy and works on his shot, we may have ourselves a new Two-Way superstar in our league.
