Magic exercises Jonathan Isaac

The Orlando Magic exercised their third-year team option on forwarding Jonathan Isaac, the team announced Thursday.

The transaction leaves Isaac, who turns 21 next week, signed through the 2019-20 campaign.

The 6-foot-10 Isaac averaged 5.4 points and 3.7 rebounds in 27 games (10 starts) last season as a rookie. He was the sixth overall pick of the 2017 NBA Draft.

Isaac's campaign was hindered by a right ankle injury early in the season and a left foot ailment later in the campaign.

New Magic coach Steve Clifford was pleased with the progress Isaac displayed during Summer League play.

"Jonathan Isaac played really well in Summer League and played in a way that should translate into playing well in the NBA," Clifford told reporters. "He's been around for a year, so he has a better idea of what to expect."

Isaac shot just 37.9 percent last season and is aware that figure needs to improve.

"I know (Clifford) expects me to be aggressive and expects me to shoot the ball when I'm open," Isaac said. "As our offense is, the (power forwards) and the (centers) are creating a lot of the action, so it's about me being aggressive and picking my spots and scoring in the flow of the offense."
