Jim Owczarski: I watched a workout between Khris and Tyler when Middleton was getting ready to come back, and Khris just manhandled him. Smith couldn't move. They had to stop the drill and restart it. Like that can't happen for him to be a real contributor. Not to say he can't get there, but that's the physical development they need. But they've got him for a few years here, so if he can just keep building up his body, working on his shot/interior game, who knows!

Damian Lillard: Because it’s different. It’s not like playing with Khris Middleton or Brook [Lopez] or Bobby [Portis]—you know, guys where it’s still all built around him. He’s never played with a player of my caliber. Even Jrue—Jrue’s a big-time guard. But Jrue’s not a seven-time All-NBA, eight-time All-Star. You know what I mean? Jrue’s great at a lot of different things. In some ways, I think his simplicity might have helped. Because Jrue didn’t care if he averaged 8 or 10 points. Jrue would get a rebound, and if Giannis is clapping for it, he just throws it ahead. Last year in Boston, Jrue was even in the dunker spot. But I’m a guy averaging 30 points a game. It’s a different ballclub. It was a big adjustment for both of us. Especially for me—going into a whole new environment, right? That was a big thing too.”

If you’re here next season in Washington, what do you foresee with this young core? Khris Middleton: I think this team could definitely be a playoff team. I think we had a stretch recently where we were competing against some of the playoff teams in some games, where we won some games and lost some others. I think if you give us a full offseason and give us a full season together, with the improvement of the young core, which is going to be huge, I think they can take a big step because of the way they work, how talented they are, and how smart they are.

After the trade from Milwaukee, did you still want to show you can score and make clutch shots? What feelings did you have?  Khris Middleton: I’m always going to have the utmost confidence in myself, but work like I’m one of the worst players. I don’t like using the phrase chip on my shoulder, but there is a bit of confidence in me wherever I go and a belief in myself that I can get back to where I was.
