After plenty of seasons of flying under the radar in the general NBA consciousness, Khris Middleton got his long overdue chance to shine under the spotlight last year.
Not only did the success the Bucks enjoyed throughout the regular season quickly vault to a new benchmark throughout his stay in Milwaukee to this point, but the 2018-19 season acted as a breakthrough for the 28-year-old in terms of finally seeing the role he’s carved out in the league be fully recognized by the NBA at large.
That mostly came as a result of Middleton joining his superstar teammate, Giannis Antetokounmpo, in Charlotte for last season’s NBA All-Star Game, marking the first All-Star appearance of his seven-year career.
