The Miami Heat Have A Ton Of Guards: Tyler Herro & Goran Dragic

When it comes to the Miami Heat and their guard-play, they have a ton of options to choose from.

Tyler Herro

Tyler Herro is another Heat sophomore who will likely lose minutes after seeing over 31 minutes a game for the year. With Miami leaning more towards their veterans, Tyler is still just 21 years of age and has many years ahead of him to become the Heat’s top scoring option.

Although, you can expect the Heat to remain highly dependent on Herro’s contributions as a reserve and they will need to. His fearless approach to the game and the ability to generate difficult shots are qualities for which I believe are already stronger than both Dragic and Nunn’s.

I recently wrote about Herro’s upcoming impact with the Heat and how important it’ll be to properly manage and harness his production in the near future.

Goran Dragic

To his benefit, Goran Dragic is one player who fits perfectly in Miami’s inflated backcourt. On paper, this is an ideal role for any veteran in this league.

At 34 years old, Dragic, who’s now played 12 seasons in the NBA, is now looked upon as a complimentary scorer for this Heat franchise. After receiving his first All-Star selection in the 2017-18 season, Dragic has recently reached the declination period of his career but remains as one of the game’s best floor generals.

For the Miami Heat though, at least, he also remains as one of the very best Microwaves in the business. Goran is able to quickly heat up at a moment’s notice at any given time, which defenses should fear.
