Khris Middleton is the latest “one who got away” for the Detroit Pistons. This summer, they have an opportunity to get him back.
What he does well
Middleton is the prototypical 3-and-D wing. He can play at shooting guard, small forward, and power forward. He can guard just about everyone who isn’t a center. He spreads the offense with his shooting. He passes the ball well enough that the offensive set doesn’t break down if the defense rotates well. Guys like Middleton have been around the league for a while, but their values are at all-time highs.
