Last month, Washington helped the USA U18 team win gold at the FIBA Americas U18 Championship in Chile.

He then played at Peach Jam and made the ZAGSBLOG All-Peach Jam second team. At the event, he said four teams were prioritizing him: Kentucky, Arizona, North Carolina and Texas.

Washington plans to take his officials during September and October and announce a decision sometime in December or January. Until then, look for Washington to continue to wrack up double-doubles.
