Heat guard Tyler Herro believes his tumultuous 2020-21 campaign has helped him succeed this season, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald writes. Herro has showed improvement from last season, raising his averages across the board for Miami thus far.
“I think I’m more mature,” Herro said. “I’ve been through, not everything, but enough now to know what to expect, really. Just having a couple years under my belt, things change quickly in this league. So just being able to adjust, make adjustments on the fly, stay ready and just continuing to put the work in every single game. I’m just worrying about the end goal and the end result.”
Herro averaged 15.1 points, 3.4 assists and 30.3 minutes per game last season, shooting 44% from the floor and 35% from deep. Those averages have increased to 20.6 points, 3.9 assists and 32.8 minutes this season, shooting 43% from the field and 39% from downtown.
