This should be a very good match up as All three are McDonald's All-Americans and it will give us a chance to see PJ vs an Elite PF who is 6'11 and a Elite SF which is what he will face when he matchs up with very good small forwards in college who have pro size (6'8)
La-lumiere vs Findlay Prep on ESPNU at 5est. PJ Washington vs Jaren Jackson

I assume this isn't today at 3pm since you posted this at 4:21pm? Unless you are PST/MST then it would make more sense.
I hope it's an anomaly, but this is the second time I've seen Washington (not counting the McD's game) and haven't been that impressed.
Washington looked good yesterday. Seems to have no legs today. Hard on 18 year olds playing 3 straight days plus the traveling.
Ya nice to see bizzy bone running the point for the Indiana team. This is another reason why crean got canned. You've got 3 all Americans on this team. There is no reason Indiana couldn't get one
Bowen and Jackson also just got back. I can't blame the legs because they played even more back to back during the summer. It has more to do with good defense. The zone isn't Allowing P.J to get open looks and their size is bother P.J once he gets into the lane. Struggling to finish over two 6'11 players. Also still struggles to guard on the wing, Bowen has blown past him twice at the stand still. He's still a very good player but he's a work in progress for sure
Also want to add if cal makes Washington our 3 man, then the man needs to be checked for Alzheimer's
why isn't Washington getting more shots ? He's missing free throws but he also has shown he can single handedly foul the defense out
Washington is going to fun to watch progress for two years or more. not sure what the poster was talking about as far as saying he was a clear OAD but yesterday was probably the first day he has ever seen him.
Right now he can handle it on a fast break but struggles at times when pressured in the half court. Needs to work on his motor because he tends to stand around if he doesn't have the ball. Only major issue is his defense though, makes dumb decisions to pick up silly fouls while also laterial quickness needing work (losing weight as Cal suggested will help). Seen these same issues in the 13 games I've seen him play

His game has never been super scorer really. This year was his highest scoring average at 18ppg. Tends to be too unselfish at times looking to pass. Usually doesn't have he scoring mentality to dominate on offense and doesn't mind not doing that
PJ is the best forward in this class...post wise. He will prove it next season. Quote me on it.
Yep its hard to imagine the starters won't be Green/Diallo/Vanderbilt/PJ/Bamba . Thats a whole lotto of lottery talent in a starting line up as all but Green are considered lottery prospects along with Richards .
What I don't like is how Washington isn't even acting upset at himself for single handedly losing this game for his team at the line.
It's a gift and curse. He's usually always even keeled one way or the other for the most part other than the occasional loud clap after a good play
That's hard to believe even for an average kid in an Upward church league.
Missed both. This could be the worst overall exhibition of FT shooting I've ever seen.
Are these teams really 2 of the best teams in the country?
