WHAT THEY'RE SAYING ABOUT WASHINGTON

Paul Biancardi, ESPN Basketball Recruiting Director: "Since a young age, Chris Washington Jr., has had a lot of potential as a big wing/forward. His fluidity, scoring ability and touch, along with his lengthy frame, are very attractive. I had the chance to coach him at my basketball camp and found that he's not only a high-level talent, but also a very likable young man. If Chris comes in with a competitive and coachable mindset, he should reach his potential at Tennessee and help the Volunteers continue their winning ways. Rick Barnes teaches and emphasizes that talented players must work even harder to capitalize on opportunities and understands the importance of defense to a prospect's overall long-term growth, all of which has consistently benefited gifted players like Chris who have played for and excelled under him."

Jamie Shaw, Rivals Senior National Recruiting Analyst: "You quickly see the physical tools with Chris Washington Jr. He is a lengthy wing with positional size and unique movement skills. You see the defensive upside he brings, plus the twitch and the versatility to both play up the line off-ball or slide his feet on-ball. His offensive game has streamlined over the last year, knocking down catch-and-shoot jumpers more consistently and ripping through to get downhill. The frame is there, the continued growth is there and now it is all about continuing to climb toward his high ceiling."

What he brings to the hardwood​

As mentioned, Washington Jr. is a self-described big guard. He performed well on the AAU circuit and at major camps last spring/summer. He averaged 15.2 points per game at the NBPA Top 100 Camp back in June, being recognized as one of the event’s top overall performers by Rivals. He followed that up by being one of the best players at the UAA Next Session 3 in July. During January’s Hoophall Classic, Washington Jr.’s name was once again mentioned as a top performer against high-level competition.

“I play fast. I’m a point forward, I think I can do it all — shoot, dribble, pass, dunk, great defender,” he told KSR. “I’m a point forward who can do it all.”

I hope part of his “do it all ability” includes weight lifting and training table commitment as he looks seriously undersized in his upper body. Seems to have the athleticism that if he shows up to start the summer and fully commits to the off season then he may carve out a spot in the rotation.
