By contrast, this roster feels tailor-made for Murray.
Poor shooting? Not a problem here. As long as the Wizards can retain Kristaps Porzingis, they can field lineups with the spacing Murray needs to be maximized.

Murray is a similar, drive and kick point guard. He’s also an elite defender. This may not be the change that people expected for Washington, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t the right one.
