11. P.J. Washington, Kentucky*

There’s an asterisk next to P.J. Washington because there’s a chance that he may not play in the Sweet Sixteen for the Kentucky Wildcats, as he’s still recovering from an injury that kept him out of the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.

However, he was the team’s leading scorer during the regular season and the team’s best rebounder and shot-blocker. If the Wildcats are going to make a deep run into the Tourney, they’re going to need Washington back and as close to 100 percent as he can be.

Washington is an interesting prospect as a 6-foot-8 tweener. He’d fit right into where the NBA is trending, even more so considering that he has developed a consistent 3-point shot.
