PJ Washington’s minutes are on the rise.

After coming off the bench for the bulk of the season, the Charlotte Hornets forward was thrust into the starting lineup just prior to the All-Star break and there’s a good chance that will continue with Gordon Hayward sidelined.

In the latest episode of The QC Hornets’ Nest, Washington dives into how Montrezl Harrell’s arrival allows him to shift back to power forward, what happened to his post game and more.

Also, in a separate bonus interview, JT Thor breaks down his rookie season and explains how the meaningful minutes leading into the All-Star break helped him gain more confidence.

The weekly podcast can also be found on Apple and Spotify.
