Few two-way contract players in the league have more potential than Smith. The 21-year-old has a clear NBA skill in his shooting and plenty of room to grow in other areas. He averaged just 2.9 points for the Bucks as a rookie, but he played a small role and could look a lot better with the chance to spread his wings.
The Mavs are really shuffling up their two-way room. Right after converting Ryan Nembhard and signing John Poulakidas, the team has waived Miles Kelly and filled his two-way spot with Tyler Smith. Smith was one of the more intriguing names in the second round of the 2024 draft class and will get another chance to show what he can do. Congrats, Tyler!
Houston has agreed to a two-way contract with Tristen Newton. Newton was a second-round pick in the 2024 draft and has been dominating the G League this season, averaging 26.7 points for the Iowa Wolves. Congrats, Tristen! To make room for Newton, the Rockets released Tyler Smith, another 2024 draftee who signed his deal in early December. Smith will likely draw interest from rebuilding teams across the league.
Houston has agreed to a two-way deal with 2024 second-round pick Tyler Smith. Smith, who didn't see much court time as a rookie last year with Milwaukee, is just 21 years old and has a lot of upside left to tap into. Congrats, Tyler! To enable the move, the Rockets released Kevon Harris, who had yet to debut for the team this season.
2024 draftees Dillon Jones and Tyler Smith were the first two picks in today's G League Draft. Jones will be joining the South Bay Lakers, while Tyler Smith is going to the Osceola Magic. Both guys could up their stock and earn new NBA opportunities by dominating the competition in the minors.
