For the past couple of years, the Washington Wizards have been trying to reinvent themselves.
Under Randy Wittman, the Wizards became known as a bruising, big team that punished others inside. With Nene and Marcin Gortat leading the way, the Wizards were one of the last teams in the NBA still running traditional two in, three out lineups.
Once the team thrived with Paul Pierce at the four spot during the 2015 NBA Playoffs, the Wizards made a seemingly permanent switch to small-ball, noting how much both John Wall and Bradley Beal benefited from the up-tempo system.
