Last spring, Kentucky football’s Josh Allen made an important decision. Instead of leaving school early for the NFL Draft, the outside linebacker opted to return for another season, expand his skills and improve his stock. Needless to say, the decision has paid off.
Can the same thing be happening for Allen’s friend, PJ Washington?
Two months after Allen’s decision, Washington faced a similar choice. The freshman forward could remain in the NBA Draft pool or return to school, expand his game and improve his stock. Like Allen, Washington chose the latter. And with Kentucky traveling to Louisville on Saturday, if Washington’s impact hasn’t quite met the lofty “Player of the Year” heights of a Josh Allen, the sophomore from Texas has certainly upped his game.
