Khris Middleton is candy corn

By Matt Cianfrone (@Matt_Cianfrone)

Candy corn is a pretty decent Halloween candy. While it isn’t chocolate, in the right situation, like being the snack that breaks up a bunch of chocolate, it really can be a satisfying candy. Best of all though, it is a really cheap option for those people who can’t drop six dollars on a bag of 50 mini candy bars.

Khris Middleton is a pretty decent NBA player. While he isn’t an elite wing player, in the right situation (like on any contending team where he would be surrounded by a bunch of talent) he fits right in and helps a team win thanks to some above-average defense, good three-point shooting (he shot 41 percent on 3.5 threes a game last year), and some smart cutting ability. Best of all though, he does it all for less than a million dollars this year, a bargain compared to what some wings are getting paid right now.

Middleton won’t ever be elite but taken in the right situation he is going to always be satisfying, just like candy corn.
