PJ Washington flashed a wide, sly grin when asked about plans to make his second season at Kentucky better than the first.

It spoke volumes about his confidence before he said a word.

But the 6-foot-8 forward does plan to be more vocal. He returns to school as the top scorer and rebounder for the Wildcats. Washington also wants to prove he can defend all positions, perhaps the most important advice he received last spring from NBA scouts while testing the draft waters.

An injured left pinkie that bothered Washington last season has healed following offseason surgery. Fully healthy, his focus now is applying lessons learned from a busy summer to a team that will look to him for leadership.

"I just came back to get better, honestly," Washington said Thursday at Kentucky's media day. "I knew my role was going to be bigger, so I just came back to just try to be a leader and I feel like I'm doing a great job right now."

If his finger has healed I was wondering why he had the 4th and 5th fingers taped together in the BBM? Was that just for protection or has he done something to it in practice?

Bama, I would imagine it's for protection.
