P.J. Washington will need better focus with Mavericks, who hit home run with their other deal

New York Times  

The Dallas Mavericks made a pair of big moves at the deadline to try to shift themselves from the middle of the Western Conference into a contention window, bringing in P.J. Over the last two years, Washington’s true shooting percentage has been about 7 percent below league average, and he’s been a below-average player in terms of scoring efficiency in four of his five seasons. In the team’s lone winning season of his five in Charlotte — 2021-22 — Washington played more of his minutes at center than any other spot. Washington didn’t play much at the five under Steve Clifford last season, but he has played a reasonable amount of minutes as the lone “big” on the court this season. In Washington’s nearly 500 minutes at center this season, Charlotte gave up more than 125 points per 100 possessions.
