Washington Wizards Season Outlook 2016-17: Markieff Morris Must Step Up

Although Scott Brooks doesn’t believe the Washington Wizards are a young team, they are still the 9th youngest team in the league with an average age of 25.8.

At the age of 27, Markieff Morris will have to be a veteran leader for this young but experienced Washington team.

Morris started 21 of 27 games last year for the Wizards. He averaged a solid 12.4 points, 6 rebounds, and shot 47 percent from the field per game. He ended last season on a very high note, averaging 17.6 points and close to 7 rebounds a game in the last five contests.
