Milwaukee Bucks: 5 Most Important players for 2018-19

3. Khris Middleton

Middleton is coming off of a spectacular season, in which he stepped up amidst a Jabari Parker injury, and was just short of making his first All-Star appearance. He put up great numbers, and proved himself to be more than adequate as Antetokounmpo’s wingman.

Coming into last year, there was still some skepticism about who was Milwaukee`s true number two. Now that Parker is no longer with the team, signing with the Chicago Bulls this offseason, it is more than clear.

Middleton is easily one of the most dangerous weapons the Buck`s have, as he is a true scorer from any range and equipped with a superb jumpshot. Milwaukee relied on his presence on both ends of the floor last season, as he helped carry the team to the playoffs where he had multiple impressive performances.

Now that the Parker era has finally concluded, Middleton has the opportunity to solidify himself as Antetokounmpo’s true wingman, and hopefully earn his first spot on an All-Star roster. If Milwaukee is to meet expectations, the steady play of Middleton is a necessity.
