KJ Simpson didn’t walk away with the hardware, but make no mistake — he was the engine that made Charlotte’s Summer League run go.

The former Colorado Buffaloes guard, now in his second year with the Hornets, played a central role in Charlotte capturing its first-ever NBA Summer League championship Sunday night in Las Vegas.

It was a tight 83-78 win over the Sacramento Kings, and while Duke rookie Kon Knueppel earned MVP honors for his 21-point performance, it was Simpson who left the biggest impression over the course of the tournament.
