Milwaukee Bucks: Top 5 Plays of the Week (January 14th)

Number Two – Khris Middleton Makes Another Poster
John Wall and Jimmy Butler are in a great club right now. They’re both two of the very best guards in the Eastern Conference, and they both got absolutely lit up by Khris Middleton. Middleton is slowly losing the image of merely a shooter, one poster at a time.
It’s easy for other teams to forget Middleton is 6’8″ with super long arms because he does spend a lot of time on the perimeter, but John Wall is going to remember that for a while. My favorite thing about Middleton is that he is damn cold-blooded–he murders Wall and just jogs away.
Watching Middleton grow is so fun. He’s good for making nearly half of his threes, plus he’s starting to really become dangerous within the arc too. With Middleton, Jabari, Giannis and Michael Carter-Williams around, teams have to watch out for these Young Bucks in transition.
