Ten games may be an arbitrary round number in the context of a full 82-game NBA regular season, but it also seems like a decent snapshot to take a step back and evaluate what the Wizards have shown us so far, especially after a convincing victory over the defending-champion Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night.

They continue to play without a collection of key rotation players and in winning their last two games (and against good teams), they rebounded nicely from their first two-game losing streak of the season.

Gafford proved he has the special combination of size, length and quickness to guard arguably the game's best and most physically dominant player.

One game after committing an uncharacteristic 18 turnovers against the Memphis Grizzlies, the Wizards once again had trouble protecting the ball.

A few guys are shooting below their career averages and both Davis Bertans (ankle) and Thomas Bryant (ACL rehab) being hurt hasn't helped as they are two of the most accurate long-range marksmen on the team.

Washington has now collected wins over the Bucks and Atlanta Hawks, who met in the Eastern Conference Finals last year, plus the Boston Celtics (twice) and the Toronto Raptors.
