Former Texas A&M Basketball star Khris Middleton wasn’t expected to do much at the NBA level. In fact, after being drafted, he wasn’t even playing in the league. For a large portion of his rookie season, he was playing for the Fort Wayne Mad Ants of the NBA’s D-League.
Fast forward to 2021 and he’s one of the stars of this year’s NBA Finals. In fact, to take things a step further, he could be a player that is in the running for the Finals MVP award.
