Summer league legend but will never be able to keep up in the NBA
Sad, but I certainly understand the business behind a roster crunch.
I watch the draft religiously every year. Immediately after his name was called, he was interviewed. I’ve been a fan of the NBA for over 35 years, and I have never seen a better post draft interview than K.J. Simpson’s. He showed more heart than anyone I’ve ever seen in that interview.
If you can find it, go look it up.
Good luck, KJ.
Rest easy GOAT. Wouldn’t have that summer league chip without him. I think there’s a fringe nba guy in there if he can get his shooting up and keep playing hard defense. Sad hes gone.
I think we should have picked Shead from Houston instead. Hope he lands somewhere he gets some run at.
Really??? Damn he always plays hard and mostly good
That’s summer league champion KJ Simpson to you OP
Hope you succeed KJ, really likeable dude
Are we gonna pick somebody else up for his 2-way slot or is this because of a roster crunch after the deadline?
sad. gotta be another 2-way coming right? or do we just keep the spot open?
I hate to see it, but he just isn’t good enough for what this team is reaching for right now.
I hope he can land somewhere and do well.
Tosan Evbuomwan has been signed to a two-way contract.
Damn, that kinda sucks. He was one of those below average second rounders that I was irrationally a fan of.
Good luck at your next stop king, one of my favorite hornets
very likeable and has all the right mindset traits to be a longtime nba player, unfortunately his ability and measurables are more like G league lifer level
felt inevitable, wish him all the best
noooooo
Dang. If you could be a star with nothing but effort, KJ would be All-NBA. Really enjoyed his time with us and hope he finds a home.
That said, hopefully that means Chef Jeff has something cooking for that two-way spot.
Wherever he lands he’ll succeed, imo. Obviously being an undersized player means he’s already at a disadvantage. But I think he has the right attitude and drive to carve out a space in this league. Just needs more development and experience.
I’m sure he will be picked up. Nick did and I find them comparable.
That made me more sad then it probably should have.
Im upset about this one dang he gave us some tough buckets
Dislike. He’s staying on my 2K roster.
Damn…
Did not see this coming
I think someone will pick him up. He showed some flashes
Damn, I met him in Publix like two weeks ago, highlight of my year
Hornets getting rid of the small guards it seem like
I liked KJ but this is probably best for him.
With the moves we just made and this rookie class, idk who he takes minutes from.
I knew it was coming soon and super bummed
Sad about this, loved watching him in the summer league. We got the banner thanks to his efforts. I hope someone picks him up.
darnnnnnnn. wish him well though!
Damn this sucks. He was the definition of Hornets DNA and made some huge improvements compared to his rookie year. What a shame.
