Isaac is a pure shooter with a smooth touch. His game is built around his jumper, but that shooting opens his smooth middy, crafty floaters, and finishes at the rim when defenders overcommit. He thrives on challenges, never shying away from big moments, and coaches know every time he steps on the court, he’s going to give everything he has while shooting the lights out. What separates Isaac is not only his ability to stretch the floor, but his composure, IQ, and constant drive to evolve his game beyond just being a shooter.

This past year, Isaac averaged around 15 points per game in both high school and representative basketball, proving himself as a consistent scoring option. His biggest improvement has been his athleticism, cutting weight, and adding bounce to become more effective on both ends of the floor. While shooting remains his calling card, he’s committed to improving his ball-handling and finishing under pressure, expanding the skills he’ll need to thrive at the next level. The most impactful moment of his season came when his team, down men, beat the No. 2 squad by 30 at home, a game that turned their season and showed his ability to rise when it matters most. His offseason focus has been on elevating his skill set, ensuring that next year he has the freedom to showcase everything he’s developed, not just catch-and-shoot opportunities.

Faith fuels Isaac through adversity. He views setbacks as trials meant to strengthen him, whether it’s an injury testing his resilience or a mistake on the court reminding him that growth comes through persistence. That perspective allows him to stay composed, reset quickly, and keep his eyes forward. The best coaching advice received is, " You have to leave it all out there to get something back". Off the court, he enjoys time with friends, gaming, and working toward a strong education, keeping himself grounded and balanced as he pursues big goals.

Isaac’s combination of elite shooting and emerging versatility makes him a dangerous weapon. His ability to stretch defenses with his range while also creating off the dribble and finishing with touch adds tools to his offensive bag. His high character, relentless effort, and drive to improve raises his stock as a player who elevates both himself and those around him.

Looking ahead, Isaac is poised for a breakout season. With added athleticism and continued growth in his handles and finishing ability, expect him to become a complete scoring threat rather than just a specialist. His work ethic and faith-driven resilience point to a player who will keep climbing, and his potential to impact games as both a shot-maker and steady leader is clear. Isaac is more than just a shooter, but a rising star ready to turn heads. Stay tuned.
