Tyler Smith is jobless and searching for his next opportunity to stay in the NBA, while Ajay Mitchell, the guard Milwaukee could've drafted instead, is thriving as a legitimate rotation player in this league. The contrast gets more painful every game Mitchell plays, and at a certain point, you have to ask: how did the Bucks botch yet another draft pick?
The counting stats alone should tell you all you need to know. Mitchell's putting up 14.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.4 steals in 26.3 minutes per game. Meanwhile, Tyler Smith still hasn't found his next NBA home since being waived by the Milwaukee Bucks in the preseason and let go by the Rockets earlier this month after they terminated his two-way contract.
