He has hardly set the world on fire since.
However, i've seen glimpses in him which i like.
He's just played his 9th game. Data for 9th game hasn't been updated yet
Some stats for people to consider though...

I agreed with you regarding polson being first in the gun.
There is something endearing about him, but I take exception to the stats.
Simpson played sporadically in his first three games registering zero possessions. He said recently that in two of the games he was only on the Park halfway through the last quarter.
