Mavs Acquire Versatile Forward
The Dallas Mavericks have signed forward P.J. Washington after he was recently bought out by the Charlotte Hornets. Washington, 24, is a versatile player who can play both forward positions and stretch the floor with his shooting.
In 2022-23, Washington averaged 10.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game for the Hornets. He shot 43.5% from the field and 36.6% from three-point range.
What Washington Brings to Dallas
Washington brings a number of skills to the Mavericks, including:
- Versatility: Washington can play both forward positions, giving the Mavericks flexibility in their lineup.
- Shooting: Washington is a good shooter, especially from three-point range. He can help space the floor for the Mavericks' dynamic backcourt of Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving.
- Rebounding: Washington is a solid rebounder, which will help the Mavericks on both ends of the court.
Mavs' Outlook
The addition of Washington gives the Mavericks another talented player to add to their rotation. The Mavericks are currently 31-29 and are in seventh place in the Western Conference. With the addition of Washington, the Mavericks have a good chance of making a run at the playoffs.
