Those in Columbus who have paid attention to Ohio State hoops the past several years know the deal with Duane Washington Jr.
They have an understanding of his unlimited self-confidence, boundless energy and constant positivity. They’ve heard about his relationship with head coach Chris Holtmann whom he loves yet also has had a tendency to drive crazy. They’ve seen him develop as a player from a gunner without a conscience or a bone in his body telling him to pass into a multi-faceted combo guard who’s an increasingly efficient three-level scorer and can run the show with the ball in his hands.
