I see a lot of positive talk about Washington in here. Besides rooting for him, which we all are, what has he shown on the court that makes anyone believe he can be our PG answer?

Yes, I agree he looks like he’s the steady hand type but he also lacks athleticism and explosion, and hasn’t shown any ability as a shooter/scorer. He had a whopping 10 assists as a freshman, and 7 turnovers. Not exactly numbers that should make anyone think he’s the answer.

Honestly, what we don’t need is another slower footed lead guard that struggles to beat guys off the bounce, and isn’t a great shooter. This is a different game; we need a guy that can handle the ball well, has the quickness and ability to win with his dribble and can also shoot the ball relatively well. Look at every single quality or better P5. They have quick athletes with good handles or a really good shooter. It’s hard to be successful at this level without the athleticism or scoring/shooting ability. Can he play some minutes here and there, sure. But as a lead guard and potential starter, I just find it hard to believe he’s the caliber we need.
