Tyler Herro
This might be the most obvious option the Miami Heat have on their roster. Many expected him to take a bigger jump last year, but it didn’t happen.
Tyler Herro still played well last year, but compared to his rookie year some people were left disappointed. Oddly enough, though, he improved in nearly every statistical category.
He averaged more points, more rebounds, more assists, and had a better field goal percentage. The one area he got slightly in worse was three-point percentage.
Despite all this, however, he only averaged 1.4 more shot attempts per game. Though he put up more points, he didn’t actually take that many more shots.
On a higher volume, Herro could truly start to shine the way most expected him to this past season. He took 12.9 shots per game last year, and there’s no reason that number shouldn’t go up.
He’s a fairly efficient shooter from all areas, and can pass the ball well. If given a higher usage rate, he could potentially lead the team in scoring.
Jimmy Butler is still the best player on the team, but the best player doesn’t always have to average the most points. Butler’s arguably a better playmaker than he is scorer at this point in his career.
Herro has shown great shot making abilities at his young age. With the right opportunities, he could blossom into a 20+ point scorer as soon as next season.
