Kentucky Basketball will be getting an incredible athlete in PJ Washington. His newest senior season mixtape is out thanks to InTheGymHoops.

Check out the newest highlight reel from PJ Washington. Washington is going to be a force to be reckoned with at Kentucky next season. At 6-foot-8 and 230 pounds, the Findlay Prep star has a mound of skills to help Kentucky Basketball on their way to a national title in 2018.

PJ Washington looks to make his mark on the Kentucky Basketball tradition next season. With insane athleticism, and the ability to play multiple positions, Washington will become a fan favorite real quick. The Big Blue Nation loves a man that can do the dirty work. That’s what Washington brings to the table. An insane work ethic and the willingness to battle for rebounds and loose balls will only amplify Kentucky’s loaded roster.

Kentucky Basketball Roster

At the moment, it looks as though Kentucky’s roster will be the youngest in the country. With only two juniors returning, as well as four sophomores, the rest of the slack will have to be taken up by unproven freshman. Guys like PJ Washington will be leaders for this team next season. Also, the top ranked recruiting class in the nation will have to find a way to work together. Washington has the maturity to bring his teammate closer and make the players around him better. Defensively, Kentucky will look to be much improved. In addition to the great athleticism surrounding this roster, John Calipari will need a vocal leader on the floor and Washington is a great candidate for that role.
