Wizards' Markieff Morris: Scores team-high 18 in Saturday's loss

Morris scored 18 points (5-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT) while adding eight rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Saturday's 88-86 loss to the Magic.

Analysis:

He continues to struggle with his shot, and Morris is now shooting just 33.3 percent (12-for-36) from the floor over the last three games. Despite that, he's still supplying his usual multi-category production, averaging 15.0 points, 6.2 boards, 1.6 steals, 1.2 threes and 1.0 blocks a game on the young season. The Wizards' offense will continue to flow through John Wall and Bradley Beal in the backcourt, but Morris will need to be a key secondary contributor for the team.
