The Magic are arguably one of the biggest dark horses in the league, after winning a nine-game winning streak, tying the longest winning streak in franchise history, and although the Nets ended the winning streak, they still finished second in the East with 14 wins and 6 losses.
Young and energetic, like the opposite Thunder, the Magic focus is on the young army, after several years of precipitation, the young players in the team are gradually cashing in on their talents, and there are currently a total of 6 players in the team who have scored double-doubles.
Wagner Jr. 207 points 58 rebounds 35 assists 11 steal;Champion Lang Banchero 195 points 69 rebounds 49 assists 11 steal;Cole Anthony 152 points 36 rebounds and 46 assists;Big Wagner 13 points 43 rebounds 12 assists;Suggs 128 points 36 rebounds 27 assists;Fultz 114 points 34 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Magic's defensive efficiency this season is in the upper reaches of the league, players are doing their jobs, and the team is moving in a good direction, but there is only one person who is still hovering back and forth in the injury list, and that is Isaac, the No. 6 pick in 2017.
On December 2, Isaac played just seven minutes against the Wizards when he suffered a sprained right ankle and never returned to the court.
Plus this time, in just one month, Isaac has been injured three times, and on November 7, he injured his left hamstring;This was followed by soreness in his left ankle and knee, and Isaac was already scarred on both legs before the season was halfway through.
This is not an ordinary blow for Isaac, who has played in 15 games for the Magic so far this season, averaging 63 points 45 rebounds and shot 438% and 22 three-point shooting9% and 79 free throw percentage3%。
Although Isaac's stats are not good, his defensive efficiency can still rank second in the league, and it is undeniable that Isaac is indeed full of talent, 2With a height of 11 meters and an arm span of 2.17 meters, he has excellent athleticism, but he is also really too brittle.
Since entering the league in 2017, he has only played a total of 147 games in 6 years, and in the past 3 years, he has only played 11 games.
Such a very low attendance rate is still due to injuries, especially since Isaac suffered a serious knee sprain, cruciate ligament and meniscus tear in a row from 20 years ago, which cost him two consecutive seasons.
It wasn't until January this year that he officially made a comeback, but after playing 11 games, he suffered a muscle tear and was reimbursed for the season again.
I don't know if Isaac is unlucky or Magic is unlucky, in 2020, Magic gave Isaac a 4-year 70 million contract extension, and then began to recuperate.
As for a "crispy" like Isaac, if he can't realize his talent in the future, then the Magic will send him away sooner or later, after all, the current Magic team is not short of talent.
