Khris Middleton was better in the 2015-16 NBA regular season than he was in the 2016-17 NBA regular season. The Milwaukee Bucks forward missed 53 games due to a torn hamstring suffered before the season, and it took a real toll on Middleton during the 2016-17 campaign.
Truthfully, Middleton couldn’t last throughout the postseason. He looked exhausted near the end of Milwaukee’s first round series against the Toronto Raptors. Middleton returning to full strength for next year will be huge for the Bucks.
Even with him at clearly less than 100 percent, Milwaukee was noticeably better with Middleton than the team was without him.
