Grading Bucks’ Forwards:

Joe Ingles:

What a roller coaster it’s been for Ingles as a Buck. As expected, he missed the first portion of the season while recovering from a torn ACL. He’s started out slowly since making his way back from the court and was having issues finding the bottom of the net. There have been signs of progress recently, most notably in his playmaking. He’s already thrown five alley-oops to Antetokounmpo and each one is spectacular. His defense is fine.

Grade: C

Khris Middleton:

It’s been a very rough season for Middleton, who has only appeared in seven games. He was recovering from offseason knee and wrist injuries and appeared to re-aggravate something in his knee after returning. When he was playing, he showed very few signs of being the Middleton we know and love. His shot-creation and playmaking were lacking. His defense is only average at best.

Grade: D
