Hype levels for Miles Bridges: diminishing.
Hype levels for Cody Zeller: dwindling from already low levels.
Hype levels for Dwayne Bacon: plummeting.
Hype levels for Terry Rozier: never existed.
Hype levels for P.J. Washington: THROUGH THE ROOF AND TO THE MOON
While much of the Hornets’ roster is hard to get hyped for at this point, the hypilicious combo of P.J. Washington and Devonte’ Graham is picking up the slack. Graham is currently top five in assists, and at first glance, Washington doesn’t have any kind of comparable statistical feat under his belt…but wait! Washington is leading all rookies in dunks with 31! Suck it Jaxson Hayes! Suck it hard!
It’s official. A P.J. Washington dunkilation is gonna happen this year (barring unfortunate scenarios such as the Hornets dissolving as a franchise and holding a dispersal draft that sees all of their players end up in places like Puerto Rico and Lebanon). Hopefully it’s as entertaining as the Miles Bridges dunkilation was last year. Judging by the quality of the dunks that I’ve seen from Washington so far, it will be.
