With just a week until the NBA Draft, I’ve evaluated a ton of prospects, and a name I keep coming back to is Kentucky’s PJ Washington. Although it’s currently another Kentucky Wildcat stuffing the headlines (Anthony Davis), Washington could make headlines of his own with his gritty play, high basketball IQ, and sneaky three-point ability. Whether it’s Chicago or another squad, he seems like a perfect draft pick for teams seeking an awesome, role-playing forward.
Throughout his sophomore season as a Wildcat, Washington averaged 15.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks, shooting a respectable 52.
