"The Miami Heat's new offense has gotten off to a scorching start to the season. However, there's at least a small chance that Tyler Herro may not fit in it. And, if so, that will create a huge problem for the Heat and create a huge hurdle to all the momentum the team has built up to this point. That' because the Heat's new offense is largely built around pace, drive and kicks, and moving without the basketball."
"In theory, that may not seem like a problem for Herro. However, where it does potentially become an issue is when you begin to realize how much Herro's effectiveness on the offensive end of the floor hinges on the pick-and-roll. Herro can certainly take a defender off the dribble, but most of his damage has historically come off some sort of screen action."
"Interestingly enough, even after a career year, Herro will find himself in a position where he'll have to prove himself once again. Herro has evolved as a player before when he was asked to cut down on his mid-range attempts. He may have to do that again, moving into a role that will have him playing less on-ball and creating offense without heavy screen action."
The Miami Heat have implemented a new offense emphasizing pace, drives with kick-outs, and constant off-ball movement, which has produced an excellent early-season start. Tyler Herro's offensive strength, however, relies heavily on pick-and-roll and screen-based creation, which the team is moving away from. Herro can score off the dribble, but most of his damage historically comes after screens, so his role may need to shift toward less on-ball time and fewer mid-range looks. Coach Erik Spoelstra may try to blend screen-based actions with the new scheme, but integrating Herro could cause growing pains and threaten current momentum.
