Given the Bucks' selection of Jabari Parker second overall in Thursday's draft, Middleton's role could be affected next season.

Given the Bucks' selection of Jabari Parker second overall in Thursday's draft, Middleton's role could be affected next season.

Analysis:

Middleton appeared in all 82 games last season and started 64 contests at both small forward and power forward. With the Bucks intending to use Parker as a power forward, and Giannis Antetokounmpo likely to see a significant increase in minutes, Middleton could be the odd man out. While he was one of Milwaukee's most consistent players last season, Middleton may actually be better suited in a reserve role. Regardless of how things shake out, he's not likely to match the 30.0 minutes he averaged last season.
