#4- P.J. Washington

With the University of Kentucky Men’s Basketball team in the midst of their current season, it may seem like P.J. Washington has long been gone from Lexington. However, it was when the calendar turned to 2019 that Washington began his sophomore season of dominance.

P.J. made numerous all-American Teams and received tons of accolades for his 2018-2019 season. Washington impacted the Wildcats tremendously, averaging over 15 points, nearly 8 rebounds. P.J. entered the NBA Draft in 2019 and was a lottery pick, going #12 overall to the Charlotte Hornets.

The University of Kentucky Men’s Basketball team finished the season by going 30-7, advancing to the Elite 8 of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
