A Bronx native who played high school ball in Naples, Florida, Florida State’s Jonathan Isaac received a special bonus by staying in his adopted home state when the Magic took him at No. 6.
That is, he won’t have to pay state income tax on his $3.03 million rookie-year salary.
“I was thinking about that before but not tonight,” Isaac said, when asked about the Florida tax break. “So thank you for putting that back in my head. It feels great.”
