Rim-Protector With Proven Big-Game Defensive Value
Washington’s calling card is **size, shot-blocking, and interior defense**—Texas Tech lists him at 7-foot and notes a **Pac-12 All-Defensive Team** selection in 2022-23, while his college résumé includes **111 blocked shots** and 569 rebounds, so he brings real back-line protection and physicality. He’s best as a paint anchor, not a volume scorer, which makes him a fit for a team that wants discipline, rebounding, and vertical deterrence; the main watch-out is that his production has been more defense-first than offense-heavy, so the fit is strongest if you already have perimeter creators.
