Despite completing just a single NBA season—one that happened to be cut short as a result of the coronavirus pandemic—Hornets forward PJ Washington has the composure and poise of a league veteran.
Washington, who was drafted No. 12 overall in the 2019 draft out of Kentucky, averaged just over 12 points and five rebounds per game in his debut campaign. His impact was also made through being a versatile defender and willing ball handler. Throughout quarantine Washington’s worked to refine his game, focusing not only on developing his game, but also working to improve his diet and his physical shape.
