PJ Washington had to adjust to a new role this season. After starting 118 of his first 122 games as a pro, he was moved to the bench to make room for the emergent Miles Bridges. There was an adjustment period, but ultimately found success in the role and he played himself onto the floor for close to his normal allotment of minutes.
Washington’s biggest strength is his versatility and ability to play both the four and the five. For the second consecutive season, the Hornets outscored their opponents by a significant margin with Washington at the five, even if it wasn’t always pretty.
