DETROIT — This Wizards’ season was always about growth. The front office wanted a year to evaluate which young players they should build around and which ones they shouldn’t. Will Dawkins and Michael Winger wanted a year to possibly shock the world and make the playoffs, but more likely a year to uncover the glaring holes in their youthful roster.
Through 11 games, answers are flying in. And most are negative.
A visibly frustrated Anthony Davis, who scored 44 points on 16-for-21 shooting in a losing effort, sounded off on Washington’s struggles during its four-game losing streak.
“Everything, everything, everything,” Davis said when asked what’s gone wrong over the last four games. “... We’re not playing any defense … We’re not rebounding. We’re giving up open threes, fouling, not guarding the ball. Everything.”
The same issues have plagued Washington across its seven losses.
