It was the second straight strong performance for Middleton that we had had the chance to watch. After performing well on Friday night he backed it up with an even better game on Saturday finishing with a game-high 18 points in a blowout victory for LVL Up (P32) 16u. Middleton is a versatile offensive weapon that can stretch the floor out to three-point range as a catch-and-shoot threat, but also possesses the requisite size, athleticism, and skill to attack closeouts consistently and shine in transition. The rising junior at Carroll (Fort Wayne) High School is poised for a big year.

We had the opportunity to see Middleton play some with a very talented and successful OPS 15u team on the UA Rise Circuit when they came to Hamilton, Ohio in May. It will be good to see how the 6’3″ guard as progressed heading into his sophomore season at Carroll (Fort Wayne) High School.

Yet another talented prospects on the OPS 15u squad that went 4-0 at UA Rise Session I over the weekend. Middleton is a catch-and-shoot threat that knocked in some good looking shots while we were watching over the weekend. His range, quick release, and sound footwork making him a projectable off-ball talent. The prospect from Carroll (Fort Wayne) High School really helps to open the floor for his teammates with his shooting ability.
