Former Buffalo legend KJ Simpson has earned himself some new hardware, playing a major role in the Charlotte Hornets' 2025 NBA Summer League Championship.
Simpson, who was drafted in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft by Charlotte, played all three of his college seasons with the Buffaloes, cementing himself as one of the best point guards in program history. In his three seasons as a Buff, Simpson averaged 14.5 points per game and shot nearly 15% from deep.
In his junior season, Simpson was arguably the best guard in the Pac-12, averaging 19.7 points per game and earning himself first-team all-conference honors.
