Tyler Smith has secured his NBA future after being picked by the Milwaukee Bucks in the second round of the 2024 NBA Draft.

During his time with Ignite last season, Smith showcased impressive statistics, averaging 13.7 points and 5.1 rebounds per game while shooting 35% from beyond the arc. Standing at 6-foot-10, Smith possesses the versatility to stretch defenses with his shooting prowess and is proficient around the basket.

In an interview with ESPN’s Jonathan Givony, Smith drew comparisons to players like Jabari Smith, Kyle Kuzma, and Michael Porter Jr., highlighting his ability to play as a big wing capable of both floor spacing and handling duties as a small-ball center.

Experts analyzing the NBA Draft have noted Smith’s unique skill set and consistent performance with Ignite. On3’s James Fletcher III noted that Smith maintained his draft stock despite challenges, emphasizing his potential as an offensive weapon, particularly with his solid three-point shooting and free throw percentages.

Rotowire highlighted Smith’s fit as a traditional power forward who excels in spreading the floor and contributing to offensive versatility. They noted his effectiveness in pick-and-roll situations and his capability in catch-and-shoot scenarios, where his shooting accuracy commands defensive attention.

Smith’s selection by the Bucks underscores their strategic focus on acquiring players who can impact both ends of the court, particularly enhancing their frontcourt options with his offensive skills and potential for development.
