2021-22 Wizards player evaluations: Corey Kispert won’t be a savior, but he could be a key contributor over the long term

The ultimate goal for every team in the NBA draft is to identify and develop superstar talent. Wizards fans will be intently watching the team’s newest lottery pick Johnny Davis for any signs of the star gene in him throughout his first campaign.

After going through the same process with last year’s pick in Corey Kispert, at least one thing has been made pretty clear: He isn’t solving D.C.’s superstar scarcity problem.

But among Washington’s young players, his skill set does offer the most conventional strengths sought after by winning teams in today’s NBA.

Kispert could very well be Washington’s other guy.
