No. 4. Drafting Tyler Smith

Tyler Smith was drafted in the second round by the Milwaukee Bucks from the G-League Ignite. Similar to Johnson, Smith has experience playing against pro talent, and at 19, is another young prospect who is more of a long-term selection from Milwaukee.

What Smith offers, however, is a 6-foot-11 frame with the ability to hit threes at a 36.4 percent clip. His ability to play the power forward position could allow the Bucks to have some nice looks with him being able to stretch the floor. He also flies around the court, is great on the glass and throwing down alley-oops, both of which can assist the Milwaukee Bucks.

Again, he is similar to Johnson in being another raw prospect, so finds himself at the five spot here and unlikely to play a ton of minutes for the Bucks. Having Giannis, Portis and Lopez to learn from is great for Tyler Smith, and he can take bits of knowledge and skills from each.

For now, Smith will likely be a DNP or spend most of his time with the Herd, but should the Bucks need it, Smith has skills that may be of use to them. His energy and athleticism is something other players on the roster don't possess.
