40. P.J. Washington

40. P.J. Washington

Taken with the 12th Overall Pick in 2019, P.J. Washington ventured east from the University of Kentucky to the Charlotte Hornets, the team where he began his NBA career.

Washington was a Second Team All-Rookie at Power Forward, averaging 12.2 Points per Game, but he did not show much improvement in his sophomore year, with only moderate statistical gains.  Washington lost his permanent starting job in 2021-22, but reclaimed the starter’s role and had a career-high 15.7 PPG.

In 2023-24, Washington was traded during the season to Dallas (is that farther away from Brittany Renner?), and P.J. averaged 13.0 PPG over 304 Games.
