#2 Khris Middleton is the first player drafted in the second round to register a 40-point NBA Finals game

Khris Middleton's Game 4 heroics against the Bucks saw him break multiple NBA Playoffs records. Middleton was drafted in the second round as the 39th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft. Nine years later, he became the first second-rounder to record a 40-point game in the NBA Finals.

Middleton tallied 40 points on 15-of-33 field-goal shooting, including three 3s and six rebounds. It was a key game to win for the Bucks, as they would have otherwise gone down 3-1 in the NBA Finals series. That would have given the Suns a massive advantage in Game 5, which is scheduled to be played in Phoenix.
