Markieff Morris needs to do the gritty work on both ends for the Wizards

It's early, but it sure looks like Ernie Grunfeld pulled a rabbit out of his hat in acquiring Markieff Morris from the Phoenix Suns at the trade deadline for the Wizards' 2016 first round draft pick. Morris, who got disgruntled in Phoenix after his brother was traded; stated that he needed a change of scenery to get his season and playing career back on track.

There were many unknowns when Morris arrived in D.C. Would his temper flare up if things didn't go his way? Would he give 100 percent effort during games?
