Is Khris Middleton underrated? When will people finally recognize just how good Middleton actually is? At what point will his detractors be forced to simply swallow their pride along with a large slice of humble pie?
At this point, those kind of questions feel like they’re as old as time. Specifically, the discussion about whether Middleton is underrated has tracked through different stages of his development from the early points of his Milwaukee Bucks days up until now.
That in its own right should tell us something and yet it almost always seems to go unsaid. The reason Middleton seems to become underrated again every 12 to 24 months or so is because he continues to level up as a player and move into different brackets of elite players.
