"The disrespect to Tyler Herro (No. 68), Yes, Herro will be out for the early part of the regular season with a foot injury, but this is a player who was selected as an All-Star last season. For a fourth straight campaign, Herro averaged at least 20 points, and he finished 2024-25 with five games of at least 35 points, a career-best 47.2% mark from the field and 5.5 assists per game. He played a career-high 77 games last season."
"I would add that Herro wasn't the focal point of the Heat's offense last season and still averaged nearly 24 points per game with 38% shooting from 3, Everyone remembers Pat Riley calling out Jimmy Butler III (No. 18) about 17 months ago. No one remembers that Riley also called out Herro in that same news conference, and Herro responded with the best season of his career. Herro also handled himself like a pro and a leader during the Butler saga. Herro should be in the range of top 40 to 55."
ESPN's top-100 list included four Miami Heat players, with Bam Adebayo ranking 21st as the only Heat player inside the top 65. Tyler Herro was listed at No. 68 despite earning an All-Star selection and posting career-best production in 2024-25. Herro averaged 23.9 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game while shooting 37.5% from three. Critiques of the ranking cite four straight 20+ point seasons, five 35+ point games, a 47.2% field-goal mark in a strong season, and 77 games played. Several players with lower overall impact were placed above him on the list.
