We already saw some nice stats for him in the last 15 games of the season. If he is able to keep that going, there is no reason why he cant be starter quality in the league. We havent really been hearing about him in the off season. What is he doing to improve his game? Very little talk about him (excluding the trade thread), so he really is going under the radar. Could be a surprise for us in store! Maybe he comes in much improved....
Kispert got married over the summer. He said he was going to take a large chunk of the summer off, for that event and for a stretch of time afterwards before heading back to the lab to work on his game before training camp. He may not have put in as much work this summer as he did in prior summers. You know. But I agree it would be interesting to see if he can add to his game. Laterality. Ballhandling. Additional range on that jumper, or a fake and move he can use vs. a hard close-out. I suspect his insane efficiency will be hard to maintain the better he gets and the more attention he attracts. Mostly though I want him to be in the gym with Tyus Jones and Jordan Poole since chemistry with those two will help him more than any individual improvements.
