NCAA Basketball: Analyzing 6 teams in play for ASU transfer Warren Washington

With Hunter Dickinson now off the board, NCAA Basketball teams looking for a starting-caliber center are starting to run out of options. There aren’t too many left, though one that is available is Warren Washington, a 7’0 big man out of the state of California.

Washington started out his career at Oregon State, where he ultimately left after one year of playing little on the court. After joining Nevada and sitting out one season, the center was a quality double-digit scoring starter, producing 10.5 ppg and 6.6 rpg in his junior year.

He went to Arizona State this past season and proved that he indeed could be a Pac-12 player. As a starter, Washington averaged 9.2 ppg and 6.9 rpg, along with a career-high 1.8 blocks per game. Some of the big man’s best work included 18 points, six rebounds, and five blocks against San Diego, along with 16 points in an upset road win over Arizona.

Washington had 11 points and eight rebounds in the team’s NCAA Tournament loss to TCU, which ended up being his last game with the Sun Devils. He entered the transfer portal and became one of the more proven frontcourt players out there. With one year of eligibility, he’s looking for one more trip to the Big Dance and a sizeable role elsewhere.

While he doesn’t have an official list of options, there is a reported group of teams in the running to land Washington. There are six, in fact, all of whom could use him. Here’s a closer look at how the big man would fit at each of these potential landing spots.
