Bucks' Khris Middleton getting his chances

Khris Middleton is going to convert a game-winning shot for the Milwaukee Bucks.

The 22-year-old from Charleston, S.C., is emerging as a prominent scorer this season and is showing plenty of promise. He may even be a long-shot candidate for the league's most improved player award.

Bucks coach Larry Drew was not sure what to expect from the 6-foot-7 Middleton, who arrived as part of the Brandon Jennings-Brandon Knight exchange with Detroit in late July.
