Manu Ginobili isn’t always thought of when it comes to NBA legends, but he certainly is one. If Tyler Herro continues to come off the bench next season. Ginobili is the perfect player to learn from.
Despite the Spurs rarely relying on the three-point shot, Ginobili was a great shooter from deep. He averaged over 37% from deep eight different times in his career.
In addition to his shooting, Ginobili was super creative when driving to the hoop. His euro-step is legendary, and he’s often the first person thought of when the move is brought up.
He was one of the best sixth men of all time, despite only winning the award once. If his crafty scoring ability could rub off on Herro, he could turn into a really special player.
Defensively, Herro could learn a lot from Ginobili as well. He averaged 1.3 steals per game for his career and was always a plus defender on the perimeter.
Ginobili was just an all-around solid player who knew how to contribute to winning basketball games. With the amount of talent around him in Miami, that’s all Herro has to do.
If Herro can pick up some tricks and tips from the four-time champion, the Miami Heat will be in good hands for years to come. Herro just has to put that work in.
