Bucks' apparent Tyler Smith stance sets up painful reality

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.

Last Thursday's game against the Pistons may have been Tyler Smith's last game in a Milwaukee Bucks jersey. If so, the franchise would yet again ditch a promising draft pick after one season.

There's good reason to believe they will. Smith's preseason minutes went 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. He didn't do much as a rookie, but then again, the Bucks didn't give him much of a chance.

He was solid, if unastounding, in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd. He is a floor spacing big with impressive athleticism and still just 20 years old.

Author's summary: Bucks likely to cut Tyler Smith.
