Gonzaga Basketball: NBA Mock Draft Consensus on Suggs, Kispert, Ayayi
Corey Kispert, 6-7 Forward
- Highest draft spot – Sacramento Kings, 9th
- Lowest draft spot – Phoenix Suns, 29th
- Most common draft spot – Indiana, 13th
Last year, Corey Kispert declared for the NBA Draft but pulled his name from consideration after scouts predicted he would go in the second round. Instead, he came back to the Zags for his senior season. His improvement over the last year will earn him tens of millions in the Association.
Kispert is the outside marksman teams crave. Last year he shot an amazing 44.0 percent from behind the arc, many of which were from NBA distance. There were times when his long-distance touch wasn’t there, but Kispert had enough confidence in it to keep shooting until he heated up. Kispert also had no problem taking it to the rack when the situation presented itself.
Kispert has the size and can shoot the hell out of the ball… his length and shooting are enough to get him drafted in the teens, especially by a franchise that values perimeter shooting as much as the Warriors. – Jeff Goodman. Stadium
Prospects 1.0
Just about every mock draft raves about Kispert’s outside shooting. They talk about him teaming up with superstars from Zion Williamson in New Orleans (10th overall) to Steph Curry in Golden State (14th).
Kispert is a legitimate top 15 draft pick. He’s the best outside shooter in this draft class, and there are plenty of teams who can use what he brings to the table. It’s not hard to see him have a long NBA career. If he slides that far, it’s amazing to think about Kispert shooting the lights out on the same team with Curry and Klay Thompson.
