On this week’s Bleav in Wizards podcast, former Washington Wizard Larry Hughes provided insight into what has led to the Wizards’ latest hot streak. I think most fans would agree, one of the key factors has been the presence and energy of Daniel Gafford. The increased defensive communication has also played a role in Hughes’ opinion.
Hughes also believes that Gafford’s defensive impact should only continue to increase once he’s had actual practice time with his teams and can fully integrate into their schemes. Better understanding where his teammates are going to be will allow him to be even more active.
