“Really, I don't know. »» Shai Gilgeous-Alexander still wonders why PJ Washington Is it so strong when he faces the Thunder. He had been very good during the series of Spring 2024 playoffs, but since the start of the season, he has done even better.
Indeed, he played three games against Oklahoma City for three victories and 21.7 points (51% success in the shoot, 54% at 3-PTS) and 14.3 rebounds on average. The interior lacked only a duel between the two teams on December 10, 2024, and the Mavericks then lost. A constant for them this season since, without PJ Washington, they display a toll of a small victory for 6 defeats …
In the last match, won by Dallas, the former Charlotte was particularly brilliant with 21 points, 19 rebounds, 3 interceptions and 2 counters, playing 40 minutes and with a +/- +15!
Spencer Dinwiddie underlines “Its versatility” which does so much good to Texans. “He poses a special Thunder problem, with his size and his ability to move well”,, he continues. “He can also defend. He is able to defend outside and also to punish inside, with what, 20 rebounds? »»
Do a lot of things
PJ Washington was omnipresent in attack as defense, making efforts and simple things. But as he does it well, it quickly becomes precious for his family and very harmful for others, as he puts pressure on his opponents.
“It is a powerful winger, who is not very talented but who can accelerate”, Judge Alex Caruso. “His movements and gestures are quite obvious, but he is very good to execute them. If you let him go to his right hand, he can conclude. If we do not defend well in the perimeter, it can shoot. It is a good element for them. We have to find a different way to slow it down. »»
It will then be during the playoffs because the two teams played all of their duels for this regular season. And as he has always had the key in front of them, the Thunder, however the best team in the West, can be happy not to cross his path in a few months …
