(WNFL/LEARFIELD) – There’s no doubt that 6-foot-5 guard Gary Trent Jr. will be a big addition for the Bucks, but one analyst says the “X-Factor” needed to get back to the NBA Finals title game was already on the list.
Behind-The-Buck-Pass-dot-com claims veteran Khris Middleton is that player.
Middleton has missed nearly half of his team’s games over the past two seasons.
Middleton averaged 15.1 points per game in 55 games last season and 16.9 points per game over his career.
If he could join Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard on the court at the same time, the aging Bucks would have more than enough firepower to make a run. Middleton underwent two more surgeries this offseason.
When he’s healthy, he can always recharge and Milwaukee needs that.
