Middleton won back-to-back Spanish League MVP awards with Girona in 1992 and Caja San Fernando in 1993. He also helped Panathinaikos to win the Euroleague title in 2002 and won four Greek League titles with the Greens between 2001 and 2005. Middleton also won back-to-back Spanish League titles with Barcelona in 1995 and 1996. Meanwhile, Akasvayu also inked a one-year deal with shooting guard Roman Montañez, with an option to extend it until the end of 2008-09.
