Derek Simpson is Saint Joseph’s steady two-way lead guard
In the 2025-26 season, Simpson has been a high-usage creator for Saint Joseph’s, posting around 13.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.2 assists per game while earning A-10 and Big 5 recognition for his all-around impact.[14][13] His differentiators are toughness, free-throw reliability, and playmaking under pressure: he shot 91.7% from the line and was one of just seven players nationally to average 13-5-5, with multiple 10-assist games.[14] He looks like a good fit for teams needing a mature, competitive guard who can organize offense, handle the ball, and contribute without needing the ball to dominate every possession.[14][7]
