So far, Khris Middleton is averaging 18.4 points per game on 45.3 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent from downtown. His performance in Game 2 is his best one yet.

It's been one hell of a year for the Texas A&M product. He was the 39th overall pick in 2012 by the Detroit Pistons. After a year, he was sent to Milwaukee where he quickly found a home with a young and upcoming Bucks squad.

It wasn't until last year and this season where Middleton rose to the ranks as one of the top forwards in the league. Now, in the playoffs, Middleton is showing everyone that there's a whole lot of talent in his sleeve.
