The "P" in P.J. does not actually stand for "Paul."
Today P.J. Washington filled it up from behind the three-point line, again. The sophomore forward knocked down 5-of-8 threes to score 24 points against Auburn. After almost exclusively scoring inside as a freshman, now Washington is the Cats' most consistent outside shooter.
A 43.9 percent three-pointer shooter, Washington has earned a few nicknames from fans in the middle of
an historic shooting run. "3J" is the most common, but it's not what his teammates call him.
"
The guys call me Pistol. I don't know why. They just call me Pistol," Washington
revealed after tonight's win.
The nickname is only reserved for the best of the best, but this marksman has made an excellent case for ""Pistol P.J." to stick.
