Khris Middleton Is Okay With Being The Third Wheel In Milwaukee

Now that the Bucks have traded for Damian Lillard, there is a clear pecking order in Milwaukee. Giannis Antetokounmpo is the mega star. Lame Time Lillard is the second option. Khris Middleton is all the way in the back as a third wheel. If you ask Middleton, he’s perfectly content with his new role and just wants to win.

“Me being the third guy, I have no problem at all,” Middleton said, according to The Athletic’s Eric Nehm. “I mean, these guys are going to make my life easier. I hope I can make their life a little bit easier.”

“For me, it’s just coming in and trying to fit, be a role player at times,” Middleton said. “Just change roles throughout the game, whatever is needed. … Let those guys handle a lot of the heavy lifting, figure out ways I can help, space the defense, and make their job a little easier.”

“I’m extremely happy. My family’s happy; I’m happy. I’m excited about the future that we have for these next three years that I’m here, and hopefully, we can win a couple more championships. That would be nice.”

How does Brandon Miller not know who Khris Middleton is?

I’m sure Middleton doesn’t care about being the third fiddle in Milwaukee. Have you seen what the Bucks are paying him? I don’t think he’s going to complain about the situation with the Bucks. Especially given how easy life will be for him offensively.

Also, the Bucks won a title in 2021. It’s about about getting that second ring now.
