Tyler Smith · Finding their 14-point lead in their season-opener’s final minute-and-a-half to be somewhere between safe and yet, too close for comfort in today’s NBA, the veteran-laden Milwaukee Bucks left finishing touch honors, fittingly, to an up-and-comer. Known for his multifaceted play for the G League Ignite, Tyler Smith finds himself presented with a rare, wide-open 3-point opportunity after the Philadelphia 76ers commit to a full-court trap of Milwaukee's All-NBA guard. Smooth and steady in his pro-ready shooting form from the right 3-point corner, 2024’s No. 33 selection connects, capturing his career’s first NBA points on October 23, 2024. Boasting promising gifts as an athletic, floor-stretching 6-foot-11 prospect, Smith made the absolute most of his two-minute opportunity to introduce such traits, recording five points (on two-of-three shooting), one rebound, and one 3-pointer in the win. · State of Mint
