Magic Report Cards: Jonathan Isaac Re-establishes Himself as 'Minister of Defense'

A torn ACL and adductor limited Isaac to 11 games in the previous three seasons. "The biggest thing was being healthy," Isaac said. Isaac, 26, led all NBA players with a 102.1 defensive rating and was tied for first on the Magic with 1.2 blocks per game.
