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 from 13 in the first game to none in the last two contests.
With opening night approaching and other players stepping up, Smith's fate seems all but decided. Despite being a decent bet to make the roster before training camp, his performance as a rookie was limited due to lack of opportunities.
Smith showed solidity in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd, demonstrating his potential as a floor spacing big with impressive athleticism at just 20 years old.
He didn't do much as a rookie, but then again, the Bucks didn't give him much of a chance.
