Entered Texas A&M University in 2009 and played college basketball on behalf of Texas A&M University. Middleton in college can be described as tepid, but he showed a very good trait at that time-he has a particularly strong psychological quality and is good at fighting hard battles.
In the 2012 NBA draft, Middleton was selected by the Detroit Pistons with the 39th pick in the second round. However, due to his poor performance, he was positioned as a role player with limited growth and was traded to the Bucks. In the 2015–16 season, he became the Bucks’ scoring leader. His shooting skills made him known as the successor of Ray Allen, and he became the team’s second scorer after “Antetokounmpo”. In July 2015, Middleton re-signed with the Bucks to a five-year, $70 million contract. After the end of the 2018-19 season, the Bucks officially announced a five-year, $178 million contract extension. In August 2019, Middleton was selected to the 12-man roster of the US Men’s Basketball Team for the 2019 Basketball World Cup. In January 2020, in the game against the Wizards, Middleton contributed 51 points. After the game, Middleton admitted that this wonderful performance was also dedicated to Kobe Bryant, who died in a helicopter crash two days ago. In June 2021, Middleton contributed 38 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists in the G3 Bucks defeating the Eagles in the Eastern Conference finals of the NBA playoffs. It can be seen from the above that Middleton has sustained, stable and efficient output in recent seasons.
