Khris Middleton is the second-highest paid player on the Milwaukee Bucks, mostly because he’s one of the best three-and-d players in the entire NBA. Middleton is a guaranteed money open shooter and a lockdown defender, as evidenced by his incredible real plus-minus last season.
He ended the 2014-15 season with outstanding advanced stats: an offensive rating of 109, a defensive rating of 102 and a true shooting percentage of over 56 percent. Those are great numbers, and they represent a great player–Middleton was a huge part of the Bucks being good enough to make the playoffs last season.
