Milwaukee Bucks History: Top 10 Shooting Guards In Franchise History
By Adam McGee
9. Khris Middleton
The hope for both Middleton and fans of the Milwaukee Bucks will be that he’s still only starting out when it comes to his journey and role within franchise history, but the reality is that he’s already leaving his mark regardless.
It now seems laughable to consider that Middleton could ever have been a second round pick and then a throwaway addition in a deal centered around Brandon Jennings, as it’s players like Middleton that NBA teams have grown desperate for in the present day.
With a low key demeanor and a really well-rounded game, the Charleston native can and will do a little bit of everything. That versatility alongside his defensive intelligence and three-point shooting touch makes him a valuable commodity in the current NBA landscape.
To date, Middleton is preparing for his fourth season with the team having averaged 14.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 40.5 percent from behind the three-point line. If he continues playing as he has been and his teammates develop, the 25-year-old could well be the Bobby Dandridge for his generation of Bucks teams.
