Back to bench Smith won't start Wednesday's regular-season opener against the 76ers.

Impact With most of Milwaukee's regular resting, Smith drew a spot start during the preseason finale. However, aside from Khris Middleton (ankle), the Bucks are healthy, so Smith isn't guaranteed playing time against Philadelphia.

OCTOBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Grabs 10 rebounds in big loss Smith posted seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and 10 rebounds across 17 minutes in Thursday's 109-84 preseason loss to the Mavericks.

Impact The 33rd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft had some notable moments and looked active on the glass, pacing the team in that category. Don't expect him to carve a regular rotation role once the 2024-25 regular season rolls around, though, and it wouldn't be surprising if he starts the season in the G League instead of being part of the NBA roster.

OCTOBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets starting nod Thursday Smith is in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Mavericks.

Impact The Bucks are resting most of their regulars for the preseason finale, meaning Smith will get the chance to impress the coaching staff. Smith was the 33rd overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft.

OCTOBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Signs on with Milwaukee Smith signed a four-year, $7.9 million contract with the Bucks on Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact According to Scotto, only the first two seasons of the deal are guaranteed, while the third year is non-guaranteed and the fourth year is a team option. The No. 33 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, the 19-year-old Smith was one of the few bright spots of G League Ignite squad that went 2-32 during the 2023-24 season. The 6-foot-9 forward appeared in 43 total games between the regular season and G League Showcase Cup, shooting 47.4 percent from the field and 36 percent from three-point range while averaging 13.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 triples, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in only 22.2 minutes per contest. Smith will likely be on the outside looking in for a spot in the Milwaukee rotation heading into training camp, but on a Bucks team that's lacking in quality frontcourt depth, it wouldn't be surprising if he plays meaningful minutes at some point during his rookie season.
