Khris Middleton is a very good basketball player who has earned his quite lucrative contract with the Milwaukee Bucks thus far, his hamstring injury notwithstanding. Still, there’s a pretty simple way Middleton could be even better next season, and it doesn’t even rely on any sort of skill increase.
This tweak is more about the mental game than anything else. Middleton is a gifted scorer who can get to the rim or nail jump shots, which is great. What’s not great is where a substantial amount of Middleton’s jumpers tend to come from.
No Bucks took more mid-range jumpers than Middleton did this past season, in terms of percentage of overall shots taken.
