Who goes to Heat bench when Tyler Herro returns?

"Tyler Herro himself: Case For Herro starting: Through six games, Herro's averaging 23.2 points on 50.5 percent shooting and 40.5 percent from 3-point range. The Heat's starting unit - save for Norman Powell - has missed a consistent scoring punch, at times. It may be Andrew Wiggins some nights, or Adebayo, or even Ware. But Herro raises their floor offensively."

"Case against: There may not be a single player who can make up for Herro's defensive deficiencies. But I do have genuine concerns with a Powell-Herro-Ware trio defensively, assuming Ware remains in the starting five. That's a lot of strain on Mitchell and Adebayo, even when the former gets relentlessly put in ball-screen actions. Scoring 15 in the first five minutes sounds great, but when you allow 19?! Not so much."

"Norman Powell: Case For Powell staying with starters: Powell's been the Heat's best offensive player this season, and I don't think it's been particularly close. He's averaging 24.2 points and 3.9 rebounds on 48.1/40.5/86.8 shooting splits. He's played too well to get moved to the bench, at this current juncture. Case against: The 11-year veteran finished top-5 in Sixth Man of the Year voting with the Los Angeles Clippers twice (2022-24)."

The Miami Heat have coped with injuries all season, most notably Tyler Herro missing 28 games and slated to miss his 29th. The team's bench and depth have emerged as a major strength through 34 games under Erik Spoelstra's up-tempo offense. Through six games Herro averages 23.2 points on 50.5 percent shooting and 40.5 percent from three, providing a needed offensive floor uplift for the starters. Defensive shortcomings accompany Herro, creating concerns about a Powell-Herro-Ware starting trio. Norman Powell has averaged 24.2 points with 48.1/40.5/86.8 splits and presents a case to stay in the starting lineup or move to a potent bench unit.
