With the Wizards’ backcourt beef, the questions about who will start at small forward, and all the offseason additions, Markieff Morris has flown under the radar this preseason. After struggling for the majority of Washington’s exhibition schedule, he turned in a strong performance in the Wizards’ final regular season tune-up, scoring 19 points on 8-10 shooting, including 3-3 from deep, in 30 minutes of action.
While these numbers are encouraging, there are questions about which Markieff Morris the Wizards will get this season.
Morris was drafted by the Phoenix Suns in 2011 and really broke out during the 2013-14 season where he finished fourth in the Sixth Man of the Year voting.
