PJ Washington’s play over the past month has put him in the conversation not just for SEC Player of the Year, but National Player of the Year; in fact, ESPN’s John Gasaway has PJ fifth on his list of the top 25 players in college basketball. Over the last ten games, PJ is averaging 21.0 points off 55.7 percent shooting from the floor and 52.8 percent from beyond the arc and 7.9 rebounds. That’s really, really good.
A few weeks ago, PJ was one of 30 players named to the midseason watch list for the Naismith Trophy.
