Middleton looks the part of an alpha scorer these days. He's averaging more shot attempts (17.2) against Boston than Antetokounmpo (16.2) while downing 57 percent of his overall looks and 60 percent of his treys.
Milwaukee's offense has cratered by 21 points per 100 possessions when Middleton catches a breather—the largest on-off differential on the team among players who have tallied at least 15 total minutes in the series.
This is supposed to be one of Middleton's biggest knocks. He isn't a focal point, bail-out scorer or offensive hub. He's more complementary than featured.
In this series, though, Middleton has been both. And while the Bucks find themselves facing elimination, they'd already be long gone if not for his attack-mode activation.
How does a Bledsoe/McCollym backcourt work.
PTL should, Midds would help their backcourt defense.
Both teams have salary cap problems so it'll be a difficult trade.
