Wizards are 4-6 and look better, though a fan blog flags Anthony Davis's post-up usage.
Bullets Forever's 10-game checkup says Davis anchors an improved defense with his communication and rim protection, and that the Wizards defense has collapsed in the two games he missed. The blog's main concern is offensive, since Davis leads the NBA in post-ups but ranks in the 47th percentile in post-up efficiency. It says his last above-average post-up season was 2023-24, and that the team's offense leans too heavily on that approach.
