Orlando Magic release summer league roster: Who has the most to prove?

Summer, summer, summertime. Time to sit back and unwind....just not for these members of the Orlando Magic.

The Magic on Thursday officially announced their summer league roster, with marquee names including Mo Bamba, Jonathan Isaac and Wes Iwundu. Here is the full roster....

Braian Angola-Rodas, G, 6-6, Florida State

Mohamed Bamba, C, 7-0, Texas

Khem Birch, C, 6-9, Orlando Magic

Jacobi Boykins, G, 6-6, Louisiana Tech

Isaiah Briscoe, G, 6-3, BC Kalev

Antonio Campbell, F, 6-9, Alaska Aces

Troy Caupain, G, 6-4, Lakeland Magic

Chance Comanche, C, 6-10, Memphis Hustle

Melvin Frazier Jr., G/F, 6-6, Tulane

Jonathan Isaac, F, 6-10, Orlando Magic

Wesley Iwundu, F, 6-7, Orlando Magic

Justin Jackson, F, 6-7, Maryland

Byron Mullens, C, 7-0, Lakeland Magic

Rodney Purvis, G, 6-4, Orlando Magic

Tyler Rawson, F, 6-10, Utah

Kendall Stephens, G, 6-7, Nevada

Jay Wright, G, 6-1, Lakeland Magic

No big surprises outside of Justin Jackson, the Magic’s second round pick who is coming off of shoulder surgery, not being included on the initial release of the roster and then being added about three hours later.

The Magic will play their first game of the summer league on July 6 against the Nets at 5 p.m. Eastern. Having had the summer league played right in their backyard for many years, the Magic will now play on the campus of UNLV with the rest of the teams in the league. Teams will play in three prelims before the tournament and championship game, which will be held on July 17.

So which member of the roster do you think has the most to prove?

To me, the most important aspect of summer league will be seeing Isaac healthy and productive. Having reportedly spent four days a week in the weight room and on the basketball court, Isaac is adding bulk to his previously lanky frame. Limited to 27 games in his rookie season because of lingering ankle injuries, Isaac went from 210 pounds to 222 pounds during the season, Denton writes.

“It feels great, especially for my shot and getting it off easier and quicker,” Isaac recently told John Denton when asked of the benefits of building strength. “I’m feeling more into my body now by being stronger and the weight room has made all the difference for me.’’

Proving that he can stay on the court, even at the summer league level, will be somewhat reassuring for Magic fans who are pinning their hopes on the Magic’s young frontcourt.

Can Rodney Purvis prove that he can build on his late season opportunity with the Magic? Is Justin Jackson motivated to prove that he should have been a first round pick?
