KJ Simpson FULL Colorado Season Highlights | 2x PAC-12 | 19.7 PPG 4.9 APG 43.4 3P% 47.5 FG%

Pre-Draft Analysis:
Strengths: Simpson is an undersized, creative scoring guard who took a huge step forward in his junior season, propelling Colorado to two NCAA tournament wins. Simpson's efficiency rose despite carrying a significant load, making shots in bunches from all over the floor with his outstanding scoring instincts.

Weaknesses: While a good athlete, he lacks great size and has average length and strength. He frequently gives up size defensively on most nights, which might be a bigger issue at the next level.

The verdict: Simpson, one of the most improved players in college basketball last season, is a terrific ball handler with good speed, reliable mechanics as a pull-up shooter and deft touch on his floater. His intensity on defense gives him a fighting chance when paired with his offensive gifts and could help compensate for his small stature. -- Jonathan Givony

Post-Draft Analysis:
Charlotte adds an experienced college guard in Simpson, a tough but undersized scorer who could ultimately provide some value off the bench. Simpson comes off a strong season at Colorado and could find a niche in the NBA if he's able to translate that success and efficiency. -- Jeremy Woo
