Middleton is fully over his knee injury that he dealt with during his rookie season. Middleton emerged as someone capable of helping the Pistons on defense, and we'd expect the second-year player to make continued strides at that end of the floor. May 14 - 10:05 AM

Khris Middleton - F - Pistons

Lawrence Frank praised rookie Khris Middleton for his progression this season.

"I think he has a really good feel," Frank said. "You wouldn't know if he were rattled or not. He can really score and have a lot of qualities that are going to help him in this league." Middleton could make a bigger impact next season with the looming uncertainty in Detroit's backcourt.

Khris Middleton - F - Pistons

Khris Middleton hit four 3-pointers on Monday, finishing with 12 points on 4-of-7 shooting with one rebound and one block in 25 minutes.

There's still not enough to grab onto with Middleton in most formats, but with Brandon Knight possibly missing a few weeks then owners in deep formats will want to see who emerges in Detroit.

Khris Middleton - F - Pistons

Khris Middleton scored a career-high 14 points against the Mavericks on Friday to go with five boards, one steal and two 3-pointers in 20 minutes.

He has only scored 37 points the entire year. Middleton getting 20 minutes is just another indication of how the Pistons roster is in shambles. He can be left on the wire for now and deep-league owners can just keep an eye on him for Sunday's matchup against the Clippers.

Khris Middleton - F - Pistons

The Pistons believe that Khris Middleton is not "fully recovered" from the knee injury he dealt with in college.

The knee issue hasn't impacted the rookie's ability to work out during the offseason, so we're not overly concerned. He's not going to be asked to do too much this year with the depth in front of him, and could even see some time in the D-League.

Khris Middleton - F - Pistons

Lawrence Frank praised rookie Khris Middleton for his improvement since summer league.

"I think he has really made some jumps since summer league," he said. "Summer league was a little bit of an eye-opener for him." Frank noted that Middleton has a "very good feel" at the offensive end of the court, but he's going to have to "put a lot of time into his body and the other aspects of his game." In other words, he's still got a long ways to go.

Khris Middleton is working on improving his strength.

"I feel like a new player," he wrote. "My body feels great. I’m trying to get stronger, also, because I know you have to be strong to play in this league." Middleton will need a couple of injuries to be relevant to fantasy owners during his rookie season.

Khris Middleton - F - Pistons

Lawrence Frank praised Khris Middleton for the improvement he's shown since summer league.

It's a step in the right direction for Middleton, who wasn't signed until mid-August. With the depth at SF on this Pistons team, Middleton is going to have a tough enough time garnering consistent minutes, let alone fantasy value.

Pistons sign F Khris Middleton.

Finally, the No. 39 overall pick of the 2012 draft class signs his deal. The Pistons roster now stands at 15, and Middleton will have no fantasy relevance in his rookie season barring a slew of injuries.

Khris Middleton - F - Pistons

Rookie Khris Middleton remains unsigned.

Middleton, who was the No. 39 overall pick in 2012 out of Texas A&M, still hasn't signed his contract, but "there isn't a sense of urgency" to do so, according to the Detroit Free Press. However, "the indication" is that the Pistons "plan on getting a deal done." Middleton won't be on the fantasy radar with how deep Detroit is on the wing.

Khris Middleton - F - Pistons

Khris Middleton "displayed the silky-smooth game" in summer league when receiving an opportunity to play.

The Pistons are high on Middleton, the No. 39 overall pick in the 2012 draft. The team thinks he can become a "legitimate shot-maker in the NBA." Middleton remains unsigned, and despite what he showed during summer league briefly, he's not expected to make a fantasy impact on a team that is currently loaded with depth ahead of him at small forward.

Khris Middleton - F - Pistons

The Pistons drafted Texas A&M SF Khris Middleton with the No. 39 pick on Thursday.

Middleton was limited by an ankle injury for most of his sophomore season, and his juniorr season was a mild disappointment (13.2 points on 41.5 percent shooting, 2.3 assists vs. 2.2 turnovers). He needs to get stronger but has good size at 6'7" with a 6'11" wingspan, and could develop into a solid role player.
