In today’s changing NBA, Khris Middleton is becoming what the new shooting guard should be in the Association. He’s long, is an impressive shooter and is an underrated distributor and rebounder for his position.

He’s durable and has only missed six regular season games in the last three seasons. That’s almost rare in the NBA today. While he’s still developing as a go-to scorer for the Milwaukee Bucks, Middleton has become arguably the team’s most valuable player on the offensive end.

Middleton still has much to master before he’s a finished product, but he’s definitely on the right track.
