At age 22, Kispert has been more efficient than Thompson was, but has taken almost 5 less shots per 36 minutes. Numbers are pretty similar outside of that.
Just need the guy to shoot more.
What am I looking at?
The good: they took the same number of 3pt shots/36mins - just over 6. The bad: Klay shot 40%, Kispert 34.5%.
The ugly: The raw figures from 2pt show Kispert (under 4) shooting less than half as much as Klay (over 8) - and then hitting 62% against 44% for Klay. But you need to dig into where those shots were from. (Maybe you do for the 3pters as well, but ... meh maybe not so urgently.) It's efficient if Kispert makes most of those shots from within 3ft. But he's not going to put up another 5 of those/36.
