Miami Heat: Could Coach Spoelstra stand to help his guys out more?
Could The Miami Heat Benefit From More Specific Coaching?
While the case can be made using most players on the team, there are three that are shining examples of the phenomenon in question. They are Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, and Goran Dragic.
For Tyler Herro, he often finds himself in trouble in the open floor and when tasked to make a decision as the lead ball-handler. When thinking about it, that’s all the same related issue.
At the top of the key and with so many options before him, along with the fact that he has the talent to be able to take advantage of any of the following options once he sets his self to it, he overthinks things. Because he can pull up for the shot, drive by the guy, or create for someone else in someway, you can almost say he has too many options, thus overcomplicating things for himself.
Perhaps coach Spoelstra could tell him that if he doesn’t have anything by the three point line on the break and in the half-court, “you try to create for someone once and then go”, making things simpler for him. It could work or it may not, but you never know unless you go there.
Tyler Herro is still a very good young player, he just has a bit more to learn. More direct direction could be the key.
