Simpson, who is 6-2 (1.88m) tall and averaged 19.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game in his junior season, won the Chauncey Billups Award as the team's MVP at the Buffalo season celebrations earlier this week, and he also won the team's Defensive Player of the Year award.

Simpson's first-round win over the University of Florida in March Madness may have been one of the greatest moments in Buffalo history, and he also earned the title of Mr. The nickname of Big Shot 2.0, which is an extremely high honor considering what Billups means to the University of Colorado.

Simpson, a high school student in Chaminade, California, is a four-star high school student in the class of 2021 who originally signed with the University of Arizona, but after former coach Sean Miller was fired, he reversed course with the Wildcats and subsequently chose to join the University of Colorado.

University of Colorado coach Tad Boyle once complained about his disciple: "I can't praise Simpson enough, he plays like an All-American player, but he doesn't get All-American love at all, and that annoys me." Still, at least NBA scouts found him.
