Among the more talented scoring guards across the state, Washington recently crossed the 1,000-point plateau for his career and has Warwick positioned as the 9th seed heading into the district bracket. Averaging over 16 points per game, he’s a slithery attacker off the bounce with a smooth handle and herky-jerky pace as a slasher from the wing. Washington is a dangerous shooter from the arc despite an unorthodox stroke and shows buy-in on the other end while using his length to make an impact on D.

With standout length and fluid athleticism, the smooth guard is a natural three-level scorer with soft touch as a shotmaker from the midrange or perimeter and a deceptive cadence to his handle that enables him to work his way downhill and pressure the rim. He shows budding feel as an on-ball playmaker with a steely toughness while often taking on the most difficult perimeter assignment on the other end of the floor. Having drawn some sniffs from the D1 level with his play this summer on the MADE Hoops circuit, Washington will be monitored closely all winter by programs on either side of the D1 bubble, while also having the option of prep school in his back pocket should he choose to extend his developmental runway.

Still maturing in his overall approach, the Lancaster County product has the physical tools that combine with his natural ability to offer an intriguing upside that’s already begun catching the eye of D1 programs throughout the spring.

Coming off a solid junior season in Lancaster County, Washington has really begun to make noise since hitting the grassroots scene again this spring.
