Through six games, the Washington Wizards have combined to play at times extremely well and at times extremely awful. SAME AS IT EVER WAS.

The Wizards combined for 50 turnovers against the Celtics and Hawks this week, and while the Celtics game was never really competitive, DC cost themselves a major chance at a big road win in Atlanta with a slew of unforced errors.

But let’s do our best to forget all that, because their win over the San Antonio Spurs was one of the very best of the Randy Wittman Era. Bradley Beal‘s game-winning 3-pointer will be the shining light that carries us through the darkest times in our lives, or something.

Let’s grade.

John Wall: 16.3 PPG (36.7 FG%), 3.0 RPG, 11.0 APG, 3.0 SPG, 1.7 BPG

John Wall has been such a vicious killing machine for the last three seasons or so, that it’s always a shock when Bad John Wall shows up. And yes, there is a Bad John Wall, as obscure and unwelcome as he may be: when Wall ratchets the speed of his game up from “very fast” to “way, way too fast,” and rushes every decision.

Most players and coaches extol the virtues of letting the game come to you, but that’s never been John’s style – he’s always been partial to grabbing the game by the scruff of its neck and dragging it along at his pace.

Against Boston and Atlanta, we saw that that approach can backfire: 15 turnovers between the two games, and Wall’s head-scratching decisions down the stretch of the Hawks game helped the Washington Wizards give a potential win away.

Bradley Beal: 20.0 PPG (51.0 FG%), 5.3 RPG, 4.0 APG, 1.3 SPG

The Bradley Beal Renaissance began on January 7, 2013, when Beal lifted a massively shorthanded, 5-28 Washington Wizards team over the Oklahoma City Thunder with five 3-pointers and a last-second leaner. That was the moment when Beal went from a struggling rookie trying to find his NBA legs and his NBA rhythm to potential star with some true confidence.

The second chapter of the Bradley Beal Renaissance began on November 4, 2015, when Beal stepped on the five-time NBA Champion San Antonio Spurs’ necks with 25 points, and shook LaMarcus Aldridge into the fifth row before his game-winning dagger 3-pointer – showing no emotion other than increasingly less and less quiet confidence all the way through.

That was the moment when Beal went from ascending to ascended.

Let’s just hope his shoulder is OK.

Otto Porter: 17.0 PPG (66.7 FG%), 2.0 RPG, 2.0 APG

The current status of the 2015-16 Washington Wizards (especially subject to change, considering only six regular season games have been played): three great players, and a bunch of dudes I don’t really trust yet. What does that remind you of?

Otto Porter is the Caron Butler of this particular Wizards Big Three. Too bad “Tuff Juice” is taken. Besides, Otto is less of a “Tuff Juice” and more of a Shelob, the evil, deadly spider from Mordor in Lord of the Rings.

Otto Porter has many long limbs and a lot of venom. The 3-point shooting finally showed up as well this week, as he went 3-5 from beyond the arc on his way to a career-high 23 points against Atlanta. The kid can take over games.

Kris Humphries: 8.3 PPG (40.9 FG%), 6.0 RPG

So far we’ve seen Kris Humphries hold steady at about 20-25 minutes a game, while the 3-point attempts have started to play a factor: he went from zero attempts against the Knicks, to 13 in the three games this week combined, making five of them.

Kris Humpthrees is nothing if not steady, and he knows his role out there. It’s just a shame that the Washington Wizards have had to force him into this role – you don’t sign Kris Humphries to make him shoot threes, you sign Kris Humphries to let him grab rebounds and hit midrange jumpers.

He can still do those things, but the fact that this is DC’s #1 option at the stretch 4 still gives me pause.

Marcin Gortat: 10.0 PPG (50.0 FG%), 8.7 RPG, 2.3 APG, 1.0 SPG, 1.3 BPG

It’s gonna really get boring if I just continue to use this space to holler about Marcin Gortat not getting enough touches in the pick-and-roll every single week until the heat death of the universe. It’s incredibly frustrating to watch, but I’ll swallow my tongue and find different things to talk about.

Like… the Polish Machine’s always-excellent defense, which has looked better than ever in the early goings of the season. So far, opponents are shooting 15.5% below their season averages around the basket against GTFOrtat.

He’s a fine post defender, and drivers have immense trouble getting around Gortat’s great combination of size, mobility, positioning and smarts.
