Wizards desperately need Khris Middleton’s production, but he’s yet to deliver

Writer Ethan Kinney argues that the Washington Wizards urgently need production from Khris Middleton despite his severe early-season struggles. After signing a three-year contract in the offseason, the veteran forward has averaged just 2.4 points while shooting 33.3 percent from the field and 20 percent from three-point range.

Kinney contends that Washington should increase Middleton's playing time rather than benching or trading him. With thin wing depth and injuries to players like Justin Champagnie, the writer believes the Wizards should let Middleton play through his slump to regain his shooting form.
