By now, it should go without saying: don’t trust late season performances from young players on a bad team playing out the string. For Wizards fans, that should be early in the instruction manual. Or perhaps tattooed to inside of your eyelids.
I wrote about Johnny Davis recently and gave some reasons to maybe hope he’ll still be a useful NBA player — what he did late in the season not having a whole lot to do with it. That brings me to the other youngster whose late season “surge” the team has been promoting: Corey Kispert.
