Khris Middleton continues to play well for the Milwaukee Bucks this season. The veteran forward is putting up 18.7 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.8 assists this season. He's been the second-best player on the team and he believes that he deserves to be an All-Star for the second-straight year. Bucks center Brook Lopez praised Middleton's stellar play this season, as he called the veteran forward a ‘super complete player,' per Matt Velasquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
“He’s a super-complete player. The more he’s going to get chances to do this, to be out there running the team it’s going to show and he’s going to continue to improve.”
But does Lopez believe Middleton should be an All-Star? Definitely. But Brook also said that helping the Bucks win is what's more important to the 28-year-old forward.
“I think that’s the way he likes it; he’s going to go out there and do his job every night regardless of if people recognize him or not. It’s not important to him. I think – I don’t think, I know – the guys in the locker room and on the coaching staff appreciate what he does, no question, night in and night out. That’s what matters to him. He’s just trying to go out there and win.”
Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is a lock to represent the East in the All-Star Game in Chicago in February. And if Middleton makes the team, he definitely deserves it. There aren't a lot of forwards in the East right now who's playing as well as he is, so it's highly likely that the Bucks will have two All-Star representatives once again.
