One of the west's top small forwards in 2017 is Corey Kispert from Seattle King.
At 6-foot-6 and 205 pounds, the rising junior has good size and length with a very strong frame but he also showed an impressive skill set on Wednesday at the Double Pump Best of Summer.
Kispert is right-handed but you wouldn't know it because he prefers to dribble and pass left. He can handle it, pass it and has a high basketball IQ.
But Kispert's best attribute? His shooting. He has a terrific stroke and can knock down jumpers from beyond the arc and midrange.
"I can shoot the ball from the inside, I like to shoot threes, I can attack the rim, I think I'm a pretty good passer and I like to play defense," Kispert said.
It's currently a regional battle for Kispert, who holds offers from Gonzaga, Washington and Washington State with interest from Stanford and Virginia. He's aiming towards a spring decision.

Here's a report of his play in the Seattle area last week:
Corey Kispert - 6’6” Wing Friends of Hoop Lavine. Kispert easily remains the most under-rated recruit in the region, and possibly the entire West Coast. That should change quickly later in July. The muscular wing is arguably the region’s best long range marksman, particularly effective off the catch and shoot, but that doesn't begin to fully describe his game. His position is tough to define; a combo guard in a non traditional sense with keen court awareness and passing ability. But in the paint, he uses his powerful frame and high level athleticism to assert himself and is a true battler down low.
Defensively, he delivers maximum effort able to keep smaller guards in front of him or bodying up bigger players in the post. Friday night he demonstrated his ability to impact the game when his shot is off (a rarity), dominating the post at times. Kispert is a unique player, and a top target of Washington, Gonzaga and Virginia. Stanford recently reached out to him, but bigger suitors may yet be in the cards.
