During the 2015 NBA Playoffs, the Washington Wizards played a type of small ball that was very effective. At times during the playoffs, the Wizards would have four shooters on the floor along with a big.
Even though the Wizards eventually lost to the Atlanta Hawks in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, it seemed like Coach Randy Wittman had finally found the type of play that would push John Wall and the rest of the Wizards (especially Otto Porter) to the next level.
The Wizards then tailored their off-season acquisitions to accommodate their new style of play.
