Milwaukee Bucks Midseason Grades, Part 2
By Ti Windisch
Khris Middleton – A+
Going from Mayo to Khris Middleton is going from the lowest low to the highest high on the Milwaukee Bucks. Money Middleton has gone from being pigeonholed as a three-and-a guy to the first option on an NBA team. That’s one hell of a promotion to go along with Middleton’s raise.
There have certainly been bumps along the road for Money, but it’s pretty tough to find a Bucks fan dissatisfied with Middleton’s play this season.
No player jumps into a lead dog role on a team without having a little trouble at first, but for going far beyond the expectations placed on him and doing things he’d never been able to do before Middleton deserves an A+.
Money leads the Bucks in points per game, total points, total minutes played, and total steals. He’s been Milwaukee’s only hope during some of the worst stretches this season.
If the Bucks have been bad this season with Khris Middleton, it’d be terrifying to see the Bucks without him.
