There was another bright spot in the Wizards desperate season that wasn t so bad

In a Wizards game, it's hard to gather too much content. Hardly any of them can go to a fully equipped team and play their current role. The Wizards are 3-15, and the reason why they are still wearing the last ** is because there are even worse Pistons than them in the back, but the point in time that the Wizards finally chose to start a complete rebuild is just stuck in the middle of two cross-era draft potential stocks (Victor Wembanyama in 2023, and then Cooper Flagg in 2025 if all goes well. An obvious solution: next season will be rotten!And by the time you read that, Poole had already cut through the back door twice.

Between a fragmented offensive round and a confusing defensive round, Kisbert looks like a rotation player who can also make a difference on a strong team — a seven-man type who can play the occasional starter. Kisbert's three-point shooting has dropped to 35 percent, but his shooting ability has been recognized;Kisbert is shooting 39 percent from three-point range in his career, and if he goes to a better team, he can get a lot of catch-and-shoot opportunities.

Kisbert can make a quick stop to catch the ball on a fast sprint, and he's a resilient off-ball mover — and can get back into position in a way that defenders don't expect

When Koulibaly's open cut took away Kisbert's defender, Kisbert lifted up from the bottom corner. Most shooters will be standing near the touchline, but Kisbert noticed that the Hornets' switch would open up space – and Koulibaly's defender McGowens would have to switch to defend himself.

Kisbert stopped near the touchline for half a second, but the moment McGowens turned his head to look at the ball, Kisbert accelerated again and moved to the top arc — and in doing so, he found enough space to make a quick three-pointer.

The best signal for his long-term development usability is his ball-handling skills. He had a small offensive advantage at the start of the round – perhaps a low cover before taking over the pass – while Kisbert was able to amplify the offensive advantage and keep the offense going

It was a high-level round – Kisbert's change of tempo, stuck the defender behind the butt and froze Richards in place with a feint before suddenly accelerating to the basket.

Kisbert has nine breakthroughs in 100 rounds, far more than last season's three5 times. The Wizards scored 1. per game when Kithbert shot after each breakaway, or when he passed to a teammate to shoot31 points – No. 2 out of 175 players who have broken through at least 50 times, according to Second Spectrum. (The first is Lillard.) Kisbert's pick-and-roll production has also doubled, and the efficiency hasn't changed. His assists and free throws have gone up.

Kisbert can never be a prolific ball-handling option, but at the highest level, you need all five players on the pitch to make the right passing decisions under high pressure. This is also why, the kind of pure single-function shooter who can only stand on the pile and shoot the basket has gradually become unpopular.

If he becomes a reliable bench player, it's a good value for the 15th pick. (Should we mention that the two players who were drafted behind him were Shin Kyung and Murphy?)But let's not forget that the 9-13 picks that year were Davion Mitchell, Zaire Williams, Buknet, Primo and Duarte. )
