The Miami Heat didn’t make it as far as they or many had hoped for them to make it this season. With a slew of injuries and the coronavirus to contend with, as many other teams did, the Miami Heat never seemed to fully get their rhythm about them.
That same sentiment stands for one of the the Miami Heat’s brightest young talents. When you look at Tyler Herro and the season he just had, it wasn’t comparable to his rookie season, relatively.
When you say that, you mean relative to expectation or the perceptions. You say that, because, when you look at the raw numbers, he improved.
That’s the first reason why a move shouldn’t be considered, although you hear a ton of those kinds of thoughts floating around, perhaps. Although many thought and expected that he would take another major leap, from his rookie to sophomore year, he only took a minor step forward.
However, he improved. That can’t be overlooked or understated.
While hearing his name buzzing around trades at the deadline, there was a clear struggle for both Herro and Duncan Robinson, however, after all of that anxiousness was put to bed following the deadline and them still being in Miami, they returned to form.
At the end of the day, he didn’t become Devin Booker this season, as many hope he still will and can be, but he got better. That’s a positive.
