Golden State Warriors: 5 Toughest NBA Finals individual match ups
By Tony Pesta
4. Khris Middleton
First time NBA All-Star, Khris Middleton, has been lighting it up for the Milwaukee Bucks all season long. He averaged career-high numbers in the regular season, putting up 18.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game.
In the Playoffs, Middleton has continued to prove himself as an elite shooting guard in this league. He has already had five games of 20 or more points and one of 30 against the Toronto Raptors. His offensive versatility has been huge for the Bucks.
Middleton is tall enough to shoot over shorter opponents, making him a threat at all times. He is shooting 42.9 percent from deep in the postseason, so keeping a body on him is crucial at all times.
Of course, this isn’t always possible. As a result, Middleton will likely become a problem for the Dubs in this potential NBA Finals matchup.
