Bucks go with youth again in second round of 2024 NBA Draft
Milwaukee doubled up on young, athletic players in the 2024 NBA Draft. Less than 24 hours after taking 19-year-old AJ Johnson in the first round, the Bucks grabbed 19-year-old forward Tyler Smith with pick No. 33 in the second round.

The 6-foot-9 Smith joins the club after spending this past year with G-League Ignite, averaging 13.4 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 36.4 from beyond the arc. He boasts a 7-foot-1 wingspan and put up a 38-inch vertical at the NBA combine.
Smooth lefty jumper.
Tyler Smith can shoot it.
