Khris Middleton

Khris Middleton, on the other hand, has taken a much more different route to success. After bouncing around the league (playing for the Detroit Pistons, and a stint in the D-League), Middleton has found his niche with the Bucks. He has emerged as one of the better perimeter defenders in the league, and is shooting an impressive 43.8 percent from behind the arc.

In a league that values three-point shooting and defense, Middleton could find himself signing a big contract when he enters restricted free agency during the offseason. The Bucks have unequivocally stated that they will match any offer that comes for Middleton, and see him as a key part of the team’s future.

The shooting guard position is considered one of the weakest positions in the league right now and in Middleton, the Bucks could have one of the up-and-coming 2-guards in the NBA.
