JONATHAN ISAAC FORWARD/6-10/210 NAPLES, FLORIDA IMG ACADEMY (JOHN MAHONEY) FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY (LEONARD HAMILTON) “Jonathan Isaac is the type of versatile combo forward every coach in the country would like to have. Isaac is 6-9 but he has always been groomed as a perimeter player. He has a nice face-up jump shot with range out to the 3-point line. He has a thin frame and should be considered a stretch four in college.
