Across 64 games – all but three of which were starts – Washington averaged personal bests in scoring (12.9 points), rebounding (6.5), assists (2.5), steals (1.1) and blocks (1.2) for Charlotte this season. His field-goal percentage dropped a touch to 44.0%, although he took half a three-point attempt more per game while seeing his efficiency rise to 38.6% in this area and from 64.
