XI. Tyler Herro and KZ Okpala

Two of the newest members of the Miami Heat organization are Tyler Herro and KZ Okpala. As we all know by now, they were the Miami Heat’s selections in this past year’s NBA Draft.

Herro is a smooth two-guard at the moment, who should soon blossom into an elite NBA combo-guard type of player. His offensive game and jump shooting are already NBA caliber, while the rest of his game appears to be catching up rapidly.

KZ Okpala is another freak of an athlete. He is a 6’9 wingman, who at first glance, doesn’t appear to be as big as he really is. One of the first things you notice about Okpala when he’s on the court with other pros is how big of a guy he is.

With his size, athleticism, and perceivable skillset capacity based on what he did at Stanford, he has a chance to be a really special player in the league as well. All in all, the Miami Heat had one of their better drafts overall. Let’s look at the rookies.
