MILWAUKEE – Orlando Magic forward Jonathan Isaac remembers a time not too long away when the only questions surrounding Markelle Fultz were about how to possibly stop him on a basketball court and how good he could potentially become with his breath-taking blend of size, quickness and skill.
The year was 2016, and Isaac – a long-armed forward who was blossoming almost daily with loads of talent of his own – faced off against the 6-foot-4, 200-pound Fultz. They met, first when Fultz played for famed DeMatha (Md.) Catholic, secondly at the Nike Hoop Summit and, later along the AAU circuit.
