KJ Simpson
Denver Nuggets
Simpson is a gamer of a point guard who can control the flow of a contest with his scoring and floor generalship. His shot didn’t fall in his rookie year (25.4% from three), but it did in Summer League and history says it will continue to trend upwards.

"I’ve really liked Simpson’s game since his time at Colorado and firmly believe he'd see more rotation minutes if he wasn’t on a team with one of the more crowded backcourts in the NBA. He only has one G League appearance this season as Charlotte has dealt with some injuries and has needed his services. He brings the true point guard stats of assists and steals."
