ESPN: NBA Draft: Who's in, who's out
"Tyler Smith, G/F, Tennessee
Smith is an athletic, versatile, talented swingman who has been a borderline first-round pick for the past two years. While his scoring averages were up this year, his rebounding numbers slipped and his shooting percentages plummeted. Smith's struggles to be the primary option at Tennessee had big ramifications on the court for Tennessee and the team lost in the first round of the tournament.
Smith was solid, scoring 21 points in that game, but it's doubtful he did enough to propel himself into the first round. Most likely he's a second-round pick."
There's no * next to his name, which, according to the article, Tyler has hired an agent and will not be returning to the Vols next season.

Thats too bad
Say what you will about how this opens up a scholarship space for us to grab some awesome players and how this might not affect us, but losing a player like tyler always hurts

If he has an agent and goes second round, he did himself a disservice.
The second-rounders aren’t guaranteed.
Of course, with a family, that may be a risk he’s willing to take. I certainly won’t naysay his choice no matter how this goes down.

I don't think he has an agent yet
I think if teams want to work out with him, they are still having to contact Pearl to set it up.
