No, Tyler Herro is not a true point guard. But the thinking here is that, with Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler handling the ball most of the time, the Heat don't need a traditional point guard.
The Heat are reportedly a team to watch to trade for Jrue Holiday, and other players remain on the block. Team president Pat Riley, VP of basketball operations Andy Elisburg, general manager Adam Simon and coach Erik Spoelstra will have plenty of decisions to make.
Lowry is the only traditional point guard on the roster, so it might seem strange to bring him off the bench. But that's also a really good reason to bring him off the bench! When one (or both) of Butler and Adebayo are off the court, the Heat will need more reliable ball-handling.
