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 last Thursday against the Pistons. 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 from 13 in game one to eight versus Detroit to none at all in the last two contests.
He is a floor spacing big with impressive athleticism and still just 20 years old.
With opening night less than a week away and other players stepping up around him, Smith's fate in Milwaukee seems all but decided.
