2024 Fantasy Outlook
Following a relatively successful campaign in 2023-24, Kispert received a four-year, $54 million extension in October 2024 that includes a team option for 2028-29. However, he saw a slight dip in production last season. Kispert appeared in a career-low 61 regular-season games due to a torn ligament in his left thumb, averaging 11.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists across 26.3 minutes per game before being shut down for the season. He also shot 36.4 percent from beyond the arc and a career-worst 45.1 percent from the field. While he declined last season, it wouldn't be surprising to see the former No. 15 overall pick take another step back. The Wizards are expected to prioritize their youth movement with Bilal Coulibaly, Tre Johnson, AJ Johnson, Cam Whitmore and Kyshawn George all likely to compete for minutes with Kispert. Furthermore, veterans CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton remain in the picture. Kispert is a career 38.2 percent shooter from beyond the arc and should maintain a role as a three-point specialist off the bench. He recorded a 223rd-place finish in the 2024-25 campaign in eight-category leagues, and his limited upside makes him a target on the waiver wire in the 2025-26 season. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
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.
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Hawks showing interest
FWashington Wizards
January 7, 2026
The Hawks are interested in acquiring Kispert, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.
ANALYSIS
The Wizards have been linked to a trade for Trae Young, so if that happens, the Hawks would push to include Kispert in the deal. Kispert has been limited to 19 games so far this season due to thumb and hamstring injuries, but when healthy, he's shooting 39.5 percent from three-point range. He's currently dealing with a hamstring injury that has caused him to miss the Wizards' last two contests.
