2023 Fantasy Outlook
Kispert made some minor leaps in his sophomore season, and this year will be the best indicator of what his ceiling can be. Washington has decided to go in full-on tank mode, getting rid of Kristaps Porzingis, Bradley Beal and Monte Morris over the last year. That's left this roster extremely thin, and it should guarantee Kispert a starting 30-minute role. He actually did that for most of last season, averaging 11.1 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.4 steals across 28.3 minutes a night. His calling card is his shooting, though, hitting 2.2 threes while shooting 49.7 percent from the field, 85.2 percent from the free-throw line and 42.4 percent from three-point range. While we are excited about the bump in scoring opportunities, the fantasy profile is ugly when looking at everything else. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Gonzaga product creep closer to 15 points per game on great shooting peripherals, but be aware that you're not getting much else outside of scoring. That's why he'll go undrafted in most leagues, but he's worth keeping an eye on if the Wizards decide to give him more playmaking opportunities. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Corey James Kispert was born in March of 1999 in Edmonds, Washington, just north of Seattle. He is the son of former college athletes Craig (basketball) and Deri (volleyball) Kispert. Corey attended King's High School in Shoreline, Washington. As a junior at King's, Kispert averaged 23.9 points and 2.3 steals per game, led the team to a state title and was named MVP of the state championship tournament. At the end of his junior season, he committed to Gonzaga University. Kispert finished his high school education with a 3.96 grade-point average. Kispert would stay at Gonzaga for a full four years. In his first year as a Bulldog, Kispert played in 35 games and averaged 19.4 minutes per game, with seven starts. Kispert would then start 101 of his next 102 games for Gonzaga. As a sophomore, he earned Academic All-West Coast Conference honors. During his junior season, the forward hit 2.4 threes per game. He also earned WCC First Team and Academic All-WCC Team honors and was a Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year Award finalist, Kispert's college stats peaked as a senior, when he generated 18.6 points, 2.8 three-pointers and 5.0 rebounds per game while shooting 52.9 percent from the field. He was then named All-WCC First Team, WCC Player of the Year and a First Team All-American by Sporting News and Sports Illustrated. He also led Gonzaga to the 2021 NCAA Tournament National Championship game, where the Bulldogs lost to Baylor. Kispert was also named the Julius Erving Small Forward of the Year. In the 2021 NBA Draft, the Washington Wizards selected Kispert with the 15th overall pick.

Drops 29 points in loss
GWashington Wizards
April 2, 2023
Kispert closed with 29 points (10-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and three rebounds across 34 minutes during Sunday's 118-109 loss to the Knicks.
ANALYSIS
Kispert has posted season-high point totals in back-to-back games, as the Wizards continue to run out a depleted roster. Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Bradley Beal (knee), Monte Morris (ankle) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) all missed Sunday's game, giving Kispert a chance to lead the Wizards in shots. Outside of points and threes, Kispert won't produce much for fantasy managers. But Kispert has been a top-50 player in nine-category leagues over the past week, making him an important fantasy asset for the final week of the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Suatained shooting growth
GWashington Wizards
December 19, 2022
Kispert is connecting on 49.1 percent of his shots, including 41.4 percent of 4.3 three-point attempts per game this season.
ANALYSIS
Kispert logged a vastly inferior 45.5/35.0/87.1 percent shooting slash as a rookie, denoting very positive growth in year two. Across his past 10 games, Kispert is averaging 10.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists while hitting 40 percent of his threes.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
On a team that struggled for positive storylines last season, Kispert was a pleasant surprise. While he did end well outside the top 250, he picked things up down the stretch. He started the final 29 games and averaged 11.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.3 threes in 31.5 minutes. However, his usage and minutes were inflated due to Bradley Beal's absence. Kispert will presumably continue to be in the rotation as a sophomore, but he's a pure three-point shooter and will compete against Johnny Davis, Will Barton and Deni Avdija for time on the wing. He can be avoided in all but the deepest of leagues.
One of the best pure shooters in college basketball, Kispert helped lead Gonzaga to the National Title Game last season. The 6-7 senior averaged 18.6 points, 5.0 rebounds and shot 44.0 percent from three -- just a notch higher than his 2019-20 figure (43.8% 3PT). Kispert offers a bit more than the typical "shooting specialist" archetype, but firing away from deep is exactly what the Wizards will ask him to do in Year 1. There's a chance Kispert could be of use to fantasy managers in need of threes, but he'll have to compete with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Davis Bertans, Kyle Kuzma and last year's first-rounder, Deni Avdija, for minutes in what's suddenly a crowded wing rotation.
