Gonzaga Bulldogs senior Corey Kispert was named to the Julius Erving Award Watch List, the annual award for the top small forward in the nation. He joins Joel Ayayi and Jalen Suggs in preseason positional honors, giving the Zags a clean sweep so far.
This is the least surprise out of all of the preseason awards. Kispert turned into a deadly shooter last season, averaging 13.9 points per game and shooting 43.8 percent from long range. He was one of the most important players on the top offense in the nation, and he was a finalist for the award last season.
