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. His minutes went from 13 in the first game to 8 versus Detroit, and he didn't play at all in the last two contests.
With opening night approaching and other players stepping up, Smith's fate seems decided. Before training camp, he seemed like a decent bet to make the roster, given his solid performance in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd.
He is a floor spacing big with impressive athleticism and still just 20 years old.
