Isn’t his Dad also a Paul?
So I thought P.J. = Paul Junior.

A David West/Paul Millsap-type player, in his prime, will get you 18-20 points and 8 rebounds per game with a few All-Star Game appearances. West during his New Orleans days was very effective playing off Chris Paul and scoring on mid-range jumpers and secondary breaks (he had six seasons where he averaged at least 17 points per game in New Orleans, including two seasons averaging 20-plus points per game).
Washington seems like he could develop into a very good pick-and-roll player who can flare out to 18 feet and hit that jumper consistently. He also scores well going to the basket, though he could develop more of a post game. Obviously, a lot depends on his development moving forward, but it is promising how Washington changed his shooting mechanics in his sophomore season at Kentucky (he looked slightly awkward shooting as a freshman, particularly with his release).

And West didn't have three point range, which Washington does.
If you told me we were drafting David West with more range at 12 in this draft, I'd be ecstatic

His ceiling is West. Not his most likely outcome. He will most likely be a Anthony Tolliver/Marv level player. Y’all really do not know how the basement-floor-ceiling analogy works

Or maybe we just have our own opinions and don't attempt to portray them as fact, like some others around here, right KingCat?
