The Miami Heat didn’t know what they had in Tyler Herro when they drafted him near the end of the lottery.
When the Miami Heat took Tyler Herro with the 13th overall pick in the draft before last year’s, they, likely, didn’t know what they had on their hands. Who could have guessed that he would come in with the swag, the confidence, the belief, and the bravado in his game that he did?
Well, at every other level, this is the guy that has showed up but this is the big leagues. Guess what though?
That same guy showed up there too. That leans right into the second reason.
As mentioned in the explanation of reason number one, he didn’t make quite the leap that many thought he could or saw for him, but he did get better. You also like the things that you could literally see improvement in, such as his drive game, his ability to be better off the dribble, and the still-looming potential of being a main ball-handler and playmaker.
With that, you look towards what he still can be, as opposed to what he wasn’t this past season. At the end of the day and with what he’s shown thus far, the guy still has a very very high ceiling.
That’s a fact. That’s the second reason why they shouldn’t move him.
The Miami Heat, the fans, and even Tyler, probably expected more of him this past season, but it didn’t materialize. With that though, he is still very good and will become much better.
Thats the second reason. He has a long way to go and that still could, very well, end up at the destination of greatness.
