What’s the biggest thing the Mavs need from PJ Washington next season?
PJ is a starter and it's non-negotiable. He just needs to be consistent with the 3 specially on the corners. His defense is already good but just like Nico said, 10-15% improvement.
He's going to be wide open every night! Catch and shoot or even better learn how to move from Klay and create a defensive blender!
If his defense isn't good enough, he will lose his starting spot fast.
PJ needs to average 43pg on 82% ts or else the season is cooked

WELCOME BACK NOBARA KUGISAKI
DJJ is not the weakest link anymore. PJ is. 😅. Better start hitting those open 3s.
We trust him. He showed up big against Thunders.
Anything
PJ plays a man style brand of game. He's a blue collar player with some skill. His arms are very long and he is nowhere near scared of guarding any big men in the league. If he can shoot 45% from the field and 37% from 3 he’s a real threat. He’s also a sneaky good athlete. Dallas only needs 13-15 points per game from PJ plus be a good defender along that front line. There’s nobody on the roster that could even want to challenge PJ for a starting job. Hopefully Maxi can play better and stay healthy but Maxi is more suited for a bench role and Prosper doesn’t seem to be close to being a rotational player just yet.
Go Mavs
There is a world where Klay wants to retire with 1 ring more than Steph and just maybe he is prepared to park his ego for the greater good in Dallas
How ironic would it be if PJ Washington was guaranteed a starting spot with a Mavericks team with legitimate championship aspirations – when he wasn’t a year ago with the Hornets?
