NCAA Basketball: Luka Garza, Drew Timme among top-10 POY contenders

4. Corey Kispert | 6’7 Forward | Gonzaga Bulldogs

Corey Kispert has been the energy and spark on both ends of the floor for the Gonzaga Bulldogs to kick off his senior campaign. He’s off to a hot start shooting the ball and showing his growth in an abbreviated college basketball season.

Kispert opened the season with 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting against the Kansas Jayhawks to kick off the 2020-21 season in the Fort Myers Tip-Off. He followed that up with 25 points, six rebounds, two assists, and two steals against the Auburn Tigers and hasn’t looked back.

He’s been one of the consistent faces in the Bulldogs’ starting rotation in the past two seasons and counting and it’s shown as he’s averaging a career-high in points per game and 3-point field goal percentage to start his senior year.

It’s hard not to mention Drew Timme, another top Gonzaga prospect, without mentioning Kispert. He’s putting up 22.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 60.5 percent from the floor and 45 percent from beyond the arc.

They were set to face No. 2 Baylor this past Saturday but positive Coronavirus tests, things were postponed until further notice. Fingers crossed that they’ll face Tarleton State on Tuesday night.
