Khris Middleton

With only a few players left to choose from, LeBron grabs another offensive star away from Giannis by selecting his teammate Khris Middleton. Middleton made his first All-Star game this year on the back of being a major contributor for one of the best teams in the NBA. His versatility allows him to shoot from inside and out, and he can play well off of the ball-dominant players that are already on the Team LeBron roster.

Middleton is shooting 38.3 percent from 3-point range, and he frequently operates as a catch-and-shoot player due to the presence of Giannis. Seeing him paired with LeBron can allow him to fill that same role, but Middleton can also take a game over like Beal when he gets hot from the floor.

With the rotation of athletic wings LeBron has built, they’ll be able to throw bodies at Giannis and the other wing scorers that he boasts. Middleton can run all game to wear them out on the offensive end, and he can harass them on the defensive end as well. LeBron’s team is the modern NBA perfection that every team is trying to build.
