(WNFL/LEARFIELD) – There’s no doubt that six-five guard Gary Trent Junior will be an important addition for the Bucks, but one analyst says the “X-Factor” needed to return to the NBA title game was already on the roster.
Behind-The-Buck-Pass-dot-com says veteran Khris Middleton is that player.
Middleton missed nearly half of his team’s games the last two seasons.
Middleton average 15.1 points per game in 55 games last season and has averaged 16.9 points per game over his career.
If he can just 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 had two more surgeries during the offseason.
When healthy, he can still fill it up and Milwaukee needs that.
