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 decreased significantly 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 chances now seem slim.
Smith is a floor spacing big with impressive athleticism and is still just 20 years old, having shown solid performance in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd.
The franchise would yet again ditch a promising draft pick after one season.
