"Tyler Herro quieted the fears of Miami Heat fans by emphatically answering all questions about his potential fit in the team's new pace and space offense. In his season debut, Herro finished with an efficient 24 points as he helped lead the short-handed Heat to their fifth-straight victory. There were some rough moments for Herro, especially in the first quarter."
"But after missing his first four shots of the game, he would go on to finish making 12 of his last 14 shot attempts. He also added seven rebounds and three steals on the night. I suppose if there are any concerns after Herro's debut, it's probably the fact that he didn't log an assist, and the fact that the ball did feel sticky at times when he had possession."
"But, then again, the Heat are going to need Herro when the offense slows down. And, as we saw in the team's win against the Dallas Mavericks, Herro did pay dividends with his ability to break down his defender in the halfcourt. With the game tied with 48 seconds left in the game, Herro hit the shot to put the Heat ahead for good. Especially without Norman Powell in the lineup, the Heat needed that element of Herro's game."
Tyler Herro scored 24 efficient points in his season debut, helping the short-handed Miami Heat secure a fifth straight victory. He missed his first four shots but made 12 of his final 14 attempts, and added seven rebounds and three steals. He did not record an assist and occasionally appeared to have the ball stick in his hands. He delivered a go-ahead basket with 48 seconds remaining and showed halfcourt scoring and defender-breaking ability the Heat need when the pace slows. More game reps should increase his comfort in the offense and improve playmaking over time.
