not elite as in Westbrook/Anthony Davis elite. But elite for a 3&D role player? He certainly is
His competition is guys like Batum, Danny Green, Demarre Carroll, etc. I'd take him over all of them |
Sure. I just don't like using terms like "elite" unless we're talking about the Kobes, Lebrons, Jordans, etc. of the world.
I think he's a top 15% 3 and D guy who is improving.
Since he's a RFA, a team will throw a near max or max offer to see what the Bucks do. In any case, Middleton is getting paid. |
semantics
and yup it will take $15.5m to have a chance to get him. Which I'd try if we draft a C or miss out on deandre |
Semantics? Come on now. Elite means the cream of the crop. He's not there yet. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

So if call someone an elite rebounder that means they're an elite player?
I called him an elite 3&D guy. He is. That doesn't mean he is an elite player overall.

Eh, I think the term "elite" gets watered down. Not sure I call him an "elite" 3 and D just yet. Playoffs showed he isn't "elite" yet. He may get there but it does him a disservice to label him "elite." _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

it's perfectly fine for a player to be elite in one facet of the game and not elite in others. That's all. There's no disservice being done lol |

Absolutely not. How about drafting the guys that are coming out of College and passing on Rudy. I dont doubt his skill but nope. I also find it amazing that all these 2nd and 3rd tier players are getting looked at as Max guys and big money free agents. I like Middleton but the price needs to be right. _________________ :Formally The Gr8 Lakes circa 2002: Yes I'm old school
