The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as we hear about Khris Middleton‘s potential All-Star worthy year so far.

In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we read about the quiet career year Khris Middleton is crafting, DeAndre Liggins‘ continued deficiencies and much more.

Between the all encompassing force that Giannis Antetokounmpo is and the midseason addition of Eric Bledsoe, who’s risen to the occasion multiple times since coming to Milwaukee as he did on Thursday night, Middleton and his play is well accustomed to flying under the radar for followers and observers around the league.

Despite the low profile he has maintained with his game throughout his maturation, Middleton’s producing arguably his most proficient season so far, which may be good enough to launch him into the All-Star discussion that is sure to bubble up in the coming weeks.
