The Small Forward for the Gonzaga Bulldogs has submitted the paperwork to enter the 2020 NBA Draft. Kispert is ranked as the #63 prospects in between Aaron Henry and Abdoulaye N'doye by the CBS Sports.

His projected salary is estimated to be around $1,000,000-2,000,000 annually. But since he has not appointed an agent, he will be testing the draft waters maintaining his college eligibility alike Rayshaun Hammonds.
