Scotty Middleton is a versatile defender. He has good length and fluid athleticism. Middleton has the length and motor to guard on or off the ball and the size to defend up a lineup. With his feet set, Middleton can knock down a jump shot but is at his best in transition, switching ends quickly. He will need to continue tightening his ball skills and shooting off the bounce, also extending his range out to the three point line would help, but he is most productive when his motor is running not.
