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, where his preseason minutes significantly decreased. He went from 13 minutes in the first game to 8 minutes against Detroit, and eventually, no minutes at all in the last two contests.
With opening night approaching and other players stepping up, Smith's fate seems decided. Despite being a decent bet to make the roster before training camp, his chances now seem slim.
Smith is a 20-year-old floor spacing big with impressive athleticism, but he didn't get much of a chance as a rookie. He was solid in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd, but it may not be enough to secure his spot.
He didn't do much as a rookie, but then again, the Bucks didn't give him much of a chance.
