Separate note, KG...what am I missing about PJ Washington? Your love for him is obvious and while I haven't seen a ton of him...can tell he's probably most attractive piece they might have & positionally fits. But I'm perceiving you think he could really blow up more than his rookie #'s suggest? I can't argue, but interested in what you see?

I could swear I replied to this already, but if I did it's gone. Washington is a full sized SF that can shoot 3s and defend. As for Doumbouya I just don't see it. He showed nothing his rookie year that I saw as encouraging. I think he's a wing and a prayer. Hoping he will turn into something he's not. So Doumbouya in deal almost irrelevant to me. Washington in deal very relevant. Obviously some people think Doumbouya has great potential.
Would your opinion change on PJ if he's a 4 in our system instead? I know your preference is to play bigger than what wolves have done under Rosas...while I'd like to have a bigger 3 as well...my concern would be that PJ could play the 3 for us defensively. Not that he may not guard some 3s, but if our starting backcourt is DLo & Beasley....our 3 in most ideal situation guards the best or at minimum 2nd of the 1 thru 3 spots...from what I remember more from his college days tells me he could guard those types consistently?
Not deal breaker...but with current starters...seems like 4 is better fit?

We can call him a 3 or 4 it doesn't really change his skills.
