I didn't take it that way. Just saying he shoots the 3 ball a lot more than Burks so I don't really understand the comparison. Look at it this way, Middleton has taken 140 more 3s than Burks in 900 less minutes.

You're not understanding the comparison, because you're missing my point. They have completely different games-- I am not comparing them as players AT ALL. I'm just telling you that a good shooter is worthless if he's not taking enough shots. Plain and simple.

PLS find me a list of rotating players who average >41% from three, yet only make 1.3 a game.

@ 00:50 he realizes he has a size mismatch and choose to take Corey Joseph in the post with his back to the basket. Backs him down to the mid post then faces up and does a step back move for a sweet jumper. That is the kind of player he was at A&M and he is starting to unleash those moves this year. That is what makes him more than just an "off-the-ball" player. He has moves, he knows how to score in different ways.

Hopefully that's a trend more than an aberration-- cuz right now, 54% of his shots don't even involve a dribble.

I'd say Middleton is a better mid range shooter than 3 pt shooter just from what I've seen, anything to confirm this?

Offensively he looks to me kinda like Kawhi Leonard. Very calm but very deliberate in what he does. He has a shot he seems comfortable in, low but quick release. Seems like he could take what he has and build on it.

This game really highlighted how he can score from anywhere on the court.

He has spot-ups, off screens, post-ups, dribble pull ups, floaters, and slashing. This dude has a complete offensive game as well as being a lights out 3pt shooter.
 
Question is why would the Bucks wanna let him go? He (SG) seems like the perfect compliment to Giannis (SF) and Parker (PF).
 
Here's a distribution about Middleton's offensive game and how good he is at those(percentile):

6.3% ball handler in PnR - 37 percentile
17.4% transition - 68 percentile
4.3% isolation - 94 percentile
8.9% post ups - 90 percentile
30.4% spot ups - 90 percentile
5.6% hand-offs - 2.3 percentile
4.7% cuts - 77 percentile
13.9% off-screen - 46 percentile
2.7% putbacks - 33.5 percentile
