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.

Smith's preseason minutes have been decreasing, from 13 in the first game to 8 versus Detroit, and none in the last two contests. This suggests that his fate in Milwaukee seems all but decided.

Before training camp began, Smith 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.

Smith's last game in a Milwaukee Bucks jersey may have been against the Pistons last Thursday.

The Bucks' decision to cut Smith would mean ditching a promising draft pick after one season, a painful reality for the franchise.
