Khris Middleton is not typically the type of the player that gamers feel the urge to want to play with. Yes, he gets his buckets and plays solid defense in real life as a very good shooting guard, but his play style does not fit that of video games. A second or third offensive option in real life, Khash’s lack of speed and quickness in the virtual world prevents him from doing much more than spot-up shooting.

Given that, his rating will once again reflect that of a talented shooting guard without any flashy attributes. His standing three-point shot will be among the best at the position and his on-ball defense will be rating relatively high. In the grand scheme of things, the shooting guard position is one of the weakest in the NBA and even a low-80s rating is fairly solid compared to his peers.
