Miami Heat: 3 legends Tyler Herro can study this offseason
By Jack Simone
Ray Allen is one of the best three-point shooters of all time, however, he wasn’t always just a catch-and-shoot master. This mix of shooting and other forms of offense would help Tyler Herro out a ton.
People seem to forget the early portions of Allen’s NBA career. He played for the Bucks and Supersonics and was one of the best players in the NBA.
He always had a great three-point shot, but his athleticism was on another level, too. He was even able to compete in the dunk contest in his rookie season.
From 1999 to 2007 Allen averaged at least 20 points per game and made the All-Star game in seven out of the nine years. He was a dominant scorer who was ahead of his time.
Allen shot 40% from deep for his career, averaging 5.7 attempts per game. If he played in today’s era, that number would likely be even higher.
He would be able to teach Herro how to perfect his three-point shot, while also mixing in other ways of scoring. Allen could teach Herro how to be more aggressive driving to the hoop as well.
Allen was also an underrated passer as well. During his time with the Bucks and Supersonics, he was averaging around four assists per game.
This all-around offensive game would be great for Herro to study. It would help improve in all areas on that end of the floor.
