Outlook

Tony is an athletic small forward, whose versatility could see him spend time at the shooting guard or  the power forward position .  Is a proven scorer at every level he has played and has shown a real knack for filling it up.  He sees the floor extremely well and can find open teammates when he draws a double team,...which is always!  Possess good shooting touch and has shown that he can hit the long ball with consistency.   He does not rely solely on his outside shot and is a player with great ability to slash to the basket and finish with authority.  Solid on defense he moves well and doesn't gamble.  He is far above average with his rebounding ability and has led his team in that category from both the back and front courts!  Tony has the ability to lift the play of his entire team and with him on the floor good things will happen.

2007-08:

2005-06:

Tony led his team to a fantastic season but it ended in heartbreak as they did not win the championship to promotion to the top league.  He lead his team in scoring, rebounding, blocks and steals and was second in assists.  He was also among the league leaders in those same categories.  He has shown a fantastic array of talent and has had some breakout games this season.....scored a season high 43pts on 7-11 3pt shooting against Maccabi Petah Tikva on 1/31/06,.....poured in 35pts against Hapoel on 3/29/06 to go along with 7rebs......dropped 30 pts and 10 rebounds to lead his team past Hapoel Lev Hasharon on 12/20/05 to restart his teams win streak after already being on an 8 game win streak.

2002-05:

Simply put he did EVERYTHING.

3 time All-American.....AMC North Player of the year.....Holds almost EVERY major statistical category record in St.Vincent's history....drew considerable NBA interest most noteably from the Jazz and the Nets.  Washam finished his career at St. Vincent with 2,747 points.  That is only because he broke his hand for a portion of last season missing about 10 games.  Had he been healthy, he most certainly would have broken the 3,000 point plateau!
