Bucks' Apparent Tyler Smith Stance Sets Up Painful Reality
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, as Smith's preseason minutes decreased significantly, from 13 in game one to eight versus Detroit to none at all in the last two contests.
With opening night less than a week away and other players stepping up around him, Smith's fate in Milwaukee seems all but decided.
Before training camp began, Smith still seemed like a decent bet to make the roster, given his solid performance in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd as a floor spacing big with impressive athleticism and still 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.
