Cons: Jonathan Isaac’s weight/strength

While Jonathan Isaac is starting in a good place with his length, he’ll need to add weight and strength if he’s ever going to be more than a 3-and-D kind of player.

As mentioned before, he doesn’t have a lot of meat on his bones.

At 205, he is lanky and hasn’t displayed physical prowess on either side of the ball. This can be, and likely will be, improved when he comes into the NBA.

We’ve seen players like Anthony Davis and Giannis Antetokounmpo put on weight since beginning their careers in the NBA, but it may be easier said than done.

Only time will tell when it comes to whether or not Isaac will be able to bulk up in order to reasonably clash with the larger bodies of the NBA.

At times in his college career, we’ve seen Isaac’s confidence waver. This seems to be a mental factor that he’ll be responsible for fixing, and it mostly affects his offensive game. But he may become easily discouraged if he’s getting tossed around the court by bigger and stronger players.
