PJ Washington leads the way to NBA Finals for Dallas Mavericks
PJ Washington has been a revelation for the Dallas Mavericks, leading the team to the NBA Finals after spending his entire career in Charlotte without making the playoffs or achieving a winning season.
His trade to the Mavericks, which was widely praised and exceeded expectations, has proven to be a game-changer for the team. During the regular season, Washington averaged 11.7 points and 6.2 rebounds per game, showcasing his versatility on the court.
Despite shooting fairly poorly, he demonstrated tremendous improvement in the playoffs, elevating his game to average 13.8 points per game while hitting 36% of his three-point attempts and delivered a pivotal performance in Game 5 of the WCF.
Additionally, Washington's impact extends beyond scoring as he has contributed significantly to the team's defensive prowess, helping the Mavericks become a stronger defensive force in their championship pursuit.
Notably, Washington's outstanding performances have been complemented by the pivotal contributions of his teammate, Daniel Gafford, whose finishing at the rim and exceptional rim protection on defense have been instrumental in the Mavericks' journey to the Finals.
Gafford's ability to capitalize on the offensive attention drawn by Luka Dončić has proven invaluable, as he efficiently finishes lobs and dump-off passes under the rim.
