Considered a throw-in as part of the 2013 deal that brought Brandon Knight to the Milwaukee Bucks from Detroit in exchange for Brandon Jennings, Khris Middleton, as would be later discovered, was the best player in the trade.
An advanced-stats darling in the early stages of his career, Middleton was lauded as a potentially elite 3-and-D player that Milwaukee could make a key component of their young nucleus.
However, Middleton’s offensive game has changed quite a bit since then. The aforementioned label has been shed somewhat, and in many ways the result has placed him in the crosshairs of some of the more impatient Bucks fans.
