Is he quick laterally? I'm not sure he'll ever be great at keeping dudes in front of him, but maybe his length would cover that up.

Middleton is currently shooting 45.1% on catch and shoot threes(2.8 attempts per game). Which ranks him 10th in the league[3PA>=2].
Doesn't look like a fluke either he shot 42.1% on 3.1 attempts last year.
I know everyone wants the best player who can do everything but those players are obviously rare and costly. Sometimes you gotta take the bad with the good. I didn't watch nearly enough game tape of Middleton but if he could complement our wings and brings a new dimension to our game(and god knows we could use one knock down shooter in our current system) I am all for going after him. Even if it means to let Enes go. Maybe even try to trade for him in a deal centered around Enes and Middleton so we can have his bird rights.

Not at all. Scouts questioned his lateral quickness. Definitely not an athlete or explosive.
I don't think we seriously need a lockdown player in our starting line-up if we start Gobert and Favors. We would need more of a shooter in that line-up so I am all for it. We can bring a defensive perimeter guy off the bench if we seriously needed that.

If someone overpays for Kanter though it becomes worse than losing him for nothing.....now the Jazz are stuck with a guy they don't really need and becomes untradeable unless he improves a lot.
Why? what has Stauskas done to show he is better than Middleton? I like Middleton a lot and would be fine if the Jazz pursued him at the right price. I am sure that the Bucks might be interested in Kanter since Sanders is a no go. Maybe the Jazz and Bucks could be trade partners.

Stauskas could be Middleton offensively in a couple years, but he is not big enough to play and guard SFs. Middleton is appealing for that reason.
Stauskas is a complete scrub on defense, just awful. I'm not sure he will ever be a rotation player unless he makes a large commitment to improving his defense in a major way.
Middleton is No. 1 shooting guard in Defensive RPM in the league. He has higher DWS than any wing on our roster and is well above average for the league. I don't know why he was benched, but it could have been lack of effort in a separate game or two, because his defensive play in general is good...

Bucks fans are overwhelmingly in favor of Middleton over Knight.
