Warren Washington, the first true big man the Sun Devils have had recently, started his college career at Oregon State, ASU's opponent on Saturday.
CORVALLIS, Oregon — Warren Washington stepped onto the Oregon State campus as a wide-eyed true freshman to get his first taste of college basketball and navigate the demands of living on his own for the first time.
After playing that one season in Corvallis, Washington moved to the University of Nevada. He had to sit out the 2019-2020 season after the transfer, then had three seasons in a Wolfpack uniform, averaging 10.5 points, and 6.6 rebounds. Last season was a disappointment and the team chemistry wasn't great, so Washington sought a second transfer.Desmond Cambridge Jr.
"I definitely gave him my spiel but I wanted him to have his own freedom," Cambridge said."I felt like that would be too much to try and do it every day. I literally told him one time what it was going to be and only if he asked me I would tell him the great things about it. That's my brother. If he had gone to another school I'd still talk to him daily. I treat people as people first before basketball players and that's a real brother to me.
Washington agreed that Cambridge let him make up his own mind. He said when he decided to transfer, the Pac-12 was always his preference since his career started in it. ASU also made sense because he was born in Gilbert and has a grandmother in Avondale. He has many cousins in the area as well. Washington's numbers this season don't tell the entire story. He's averaging 8.5 points, 7.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks. His .667 field goal percentage ranks third in the Pac-12. But ASU boasts a balanced attack with four players averaging double figures led by D.J Horne and Desmond Cambridge Jr. .
"You look at what he's done and playing against a guy like Gueye on Thursday and being as productive as he was in that matchup against one of the best young big guys in the conference," Hurley said."So for Warren to play that well, it says a lot about what he's doing. It's not just his offensive production which I think is starting to come on. We're starting to find ways to improve that for him. He brings it defensively with his rebounding every game.
