12. F P.J. Washington, Charlotte Hornets

P.J. Washington has had some efficiency issues as of late, but he’s a fine shooter from three-point range overall. He could be a good fit as a lower-tier starter or upper-tier bench asset as the Charlotte Hornets look poised to move forward.

After playing out of position as a center last year, Washington moved back to his more appropriate power forward position this season, his fourth in the NBA. He’s averaging a career-high 14.9 points per game, though his shooting efficiency has suffered as the amount of shots he attempts has surged.

Washington is hitting 35.4 percent of his threes this season, which is the worst accuracy of his career. He’s doing so on 5.6 attempts per game, a full shot above his previous most. He’s a 37 percent three-point shooter for his career.

Best suited as a role player on a contending team, Washington is a strong shot blocker and has not missed significant time this season with an injury. He’s set to become a restricted-free agent following the campaign.

If the Hornets decide to trade Washington – no guarantee, according to various rumors flying around – look for the Milwaukee Bucks or Golden State Warriors to get involved.
