He is built like a tank and has a 7'-2.25" wingspan, so he can guard those bigger guys while still playing like a versatile wing on offense.
I agree that management probably doesn't perceive that we have some massive hole at the PF position for the long term. I think both Bilal and Kyshawn have the length to guard "power forwards" once they add a little more heft. But since both guys are still a little light in the loafers, I wouldn't mind swapping Kispert for a bigger veteran forward to help balance the roster a bit. I brought up Kispert for Jonathan Isaac a while back. I thought it made sense for both teams.
You might want to check Urban Dictionary or similar slang dictionary for what "light in the loafers" means.
