Thursday Quickies: PJ Washington Edition
Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports Washington, the former Wildcat and first-round pick for the Charlotte Hornets, hit his first three-pointer and then continued on to hit 7-11 three pointers en route to a 27-point performance, tying an NBA record for the most threes ever made in an NBA debut.
Washington displayed a vastly improved jumper as a sophomore at Kentucky last year, which helped improve his draft stock from a fringe first rounder/likely second rounder to a lottery pick, and it seems Washington is continuing to improve his jump shot.
Washington led the Hornets in points and minutes, leading his squad to a thrilling 126-125 victory over the Chicago Bulls in the Hornets season opener.
