Khris Middleton just might be one of the most underrated players in the NBA, but when you pair him with one of the best players in the modern NBA, Giannis Antetokounmpo, it’s easy to see why he might get looked over at times. Then, when you add Damian Lillard to the mix there is even more of the light being shared in Milwaukee.
However, what cannot be denied are pure numbers and Middleton is what you call a bucket. His length and fluid style of play have always made him a dangerous scorer from anywhere on the floor. He closed out the night with 26 points in the win over the Pistons giving him a career total of 12,012 points. The 11-year pro gave his thoughts after the game on what it means to climb into the third all-time spot in franchise history.
“That’s a pretty cool pretty cool moment you know,” Middleton said. “I’m happy, still want to keep doing a lot of great things for this team, for the city. It all started here which is pretty cool that I did that but I feel like I said I have a lot left.”
Third-most points in franchise history.

Middleton passed Glenn Rice in the standings and barring injury and how long he continues to play he can move himself into striking distance of Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabber. Congratulations to Khris on his championship career and moving upward as one of the most prolific scorers in Milwaukee Bucks history.
