PJ Washington is up for a serious contract extension after this season. The 24-year-old Charlotte Hornets forward is up for free agency at the end of the season (the Hornets can extend him a qualifying offer). However, whoever pays Mr. Washington will have to back up the brinks truck.
On Tuesday night, Washington ensured his value continues to sky-rocket with a career-high 43-point performance in a win over the Thunder. PJ was electrifying in the matchup, looking every bit like the 1st Team All-SEC player the BBN loved in 2018-19. Washington shot an efficient 16-24 from the field for a 67% clip.
