PJ Washington is a Rorschach Test for Charlotte Hornets fans. You can describe him as an inconsistent tweener that struggles to rebound, bang with bigs, and score around the basket. You can also describe him as a versatile big that unlocks the Hornets pace-and-space offense with his athleticism, outside shooting, and passing ability.
Both would be right.
The toughest part of evaluating PJ Washington’s game is deciphering the net contributions with such wide ranges of strengths and weaknesses. The strengths are really strong, but the weaknesses have been very weak. With that have come ups and downs in production, displayed most prominently last season when he followed up a 42-point performance (his career high by 15 points) with three points and three rebounds in 30 minutes the very next night.
