Charlotte Hornet P.J. Washington knows he’s missing good shots. He isn’t ducking blame.
Washington is 24 of 76 from the field (32%) and 7 of 31 from 3-point range (23%) in his last eight games. The Hornets are desperately scavenging for offense with LaMelo Ball, Gordon Hayward and Malik Monk injured. Washington is the most logical candidate to raise his game while others get healthy, but he averages just 7.4 points in those eight games.
“I think they’re the same shot opportunities I’ve been getting all year. I just haven’t been making them,” Washington said Tuesday following practice.
