NBA Draft prospects to watch: Corey Kispert, Gonzaga

It might be strange to see a four-year college player in the top 5 of any NBA Draft prospects list heading into the NCAA Tournament, but here we are. Especially in today’s ever-changing NBA, there will be plenty of teams salivating at the opportunity to draft Corey Kispert when he’s eligible.

Kispert is a 6-foot-7 wing that is the best shooter in the draft. He’s coming off a senior season in which he averaged 19 points and five rebounds on 54 percent shooting from the field and 44 percent shooting from 3-point range (six attempts per game).

On top of having one of the coolest names of this group, Kispert is certainly a player that will be able to raise his draft stock in the NCAA Tournament. And considering how important he’s been to Gonzaga this season, there’s a good chance he can accomplish that by winning a championship.
