PJ Washington has become a star for the Kentucky Wildcats, and he’s starting to get his due.
On Monday, the SEC announced that Washington was the SEC co-Player of the Week, sharing the honor with Tennessee Volunteers guard Jordan Bone.
Washington came up big for the Cats in a sweep of the Vanderbilt Commodores and Florida Gators. He averaged team highs in scoring (20.5 ppg) and rebounding (10.5 rpg) to extend the Wildcats’ season-best winning streak to eight.
Washington opened the week with a game-high 26 points, 12 rebounds and a career-high-tying three steals in an 87-52 rout of Vanderbilt.
