#7 Khris Middleton

Milwaukee Bucks v Los Angeles Lakers
Middleton scores over Josh Hart

Khris Middleton has been one of the Milwaukee Bucks front office's shrewdest acquisitions over the past 5 years. While he's always been at least an average NBA player, he has now blossomed into a scorer and secondary playmaker vital to the working of the Bucks' offensive schemes.

Middleton's season averages of 20.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 4.0 assists are revelatory for most wing players - if he were playing in a bigger market, he could've gotten more fanfare in the All-Star voting sweepstakes.

The Bucks' net rating undergoes a swing from +2.4 with him on the court to -2.9 with him off the court, ranking him third in on/off differentials behind Eric Bledsoe and Giannis.
