Bucks' Apparent Stance on Tyler Smith
The Milwaukee Bucks seem inclined to cut Tyler Smith ahead of opening night, ending his time with the team one year after drafting him.
Smith's last game in a Milwaukee Bucks jersey may have been against the Pistons last Thursday. If so, the franchise would yet again ditch a promising draft pick after one season.
There's good reason to believe they will cut him, as his preseason minutes decreased from 13 in the first game to 8 versus Detroit, and he didn't play at all in the last two contests.
Before training camp began, Smith seemed like a decent bet to make the roster, given his solid performance in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd, where he showcased his skills as a floor spacing big with impressive athleticism.
Despite being just 20 years old, Smith's fate in Milwaukee seems all but decided, with other players stepping up around him.
He is a floor spacing big with impressive athleticism and still just 20 years old.
