With father’s day four days ahead of the 2017 NBA draft, four of the top NBA prospects got a chance to share why their father’s were so special to them. One of these top prospects was FSU’s Jonathan Isaac. Joining the 6-foot-10 forward was UCLA’s Lonzo Ball, Kentucky’s De’Aaron Fox and Duke’s Jayson Tatum.
While Ball stole the show with some satirical jabs at his own father, like saying how special his father was for “berating a high school coach in front of an entire crowd,” Isaac was able to provide some more sentimental statements.
Isaac thanked his father for “waking up early to go to all those far away tournaments.”
Isaac spent only one season as a Seminole. During that time he averaged 12 points and 7.8 rebounds per game on 50. 8 percent shooting. In ESPN NBA analyst Chad Ford's latest projection, Ford has Isaac going No. 6 overall to the Orlando Magic.
