Taken with the 12^th Overall Pick in 2019, P.J. Washington ventured east from the University of Kentucky to the Charlotte Hornets, the team where he still plies his trade for.

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 last year he regained the starter’s role, and had a career-high 15.7 PPG.

He begins this year as a starter, but not a star, and that likely won’t change, though he is competent in his role.
