P.J. Washington

While P.J. Washington’s shooting numbers from beyond the arc have left much to be desired since joining the Dallas Mavericks at the NBA trade deadline, the 6-foot-7 forward has more than made up for it with his stellar defense. Washington, acquired from the Charlotte Hornets in February, has struggled mightily to find his stroke from 3-point range with his new team. The 24-year-old is shooting just 25.3% from deep on over five attempts per game as a Maverick.

As the Dallas Mavericks gear up for a crucial playoff push, one of their mid-season acquisitions, P.J. Washington, has quickly become a pivotal piece of the puzzle. While his offensive struggles from beyond the arc have raised some eyebrows, it’s his stellar defensive prowess that has truly stolen the spotlight, leaving fans and analysts in awe. Acquired from the Charlotte Hornets in a trade deadline deal that also brought Daniel Gafford to Dallas, Washington’s arrival was met with jubilation from the Mavericks faithful.
