Miami Heat: 3 Reasons Tyler Herro’s Preseason Will Carry Over To Regular Year

Miami Heat: Tyler Herro Is Coming Off Of His First Real Complete NBA Offseason

Tyler Herro and the Miami Heat reached the NBA Finals during his rookie season. 72 days later, the 2020-21 NBA season started.

First Full Offseason

Clearly, the Miami Heat did not have a full offseason to develop their young talent or receive the proper rest to prepare their bodies for the upcoming season.

While the 2019-20 NBA season was split by a 140 day hiatus, this was not a proper time for offseason development. First, the hiatus period was not planned, it was forced due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease.

Second, teams were not planning for the next season during this period, but they were still planning for the playoffs. Miami was one of the top contenders at the time.

Therefore, even though the break lasted longer than an NBA offseason, it wasn’t a true offseason to focus and develop. This offseason, Tyler Herro could plan out his workout routines.

He got right to work and the results show. It was reported that Herro spoke with Erik Spoelstra about adding muscle.

Based on his physical appearance, he seems to have achieved his goal. Reports say that he added up to 10 pounds of pure muscle.

Herro also feels that gaining weight won’t slow him down. He added that he feels “faster”, “stronger”, “quicker”, and has “improved in every area.”

Tyler Herro has definitely looked more athletic during the preseason. Not only is he moving well with the ball, but he has also had some impressive moments of quick defensive instincts, including a chase-down block.

Herro looks like he could also have some highlight plays offensively. If Herro has dunks in real games that resemble the one in this video, he could make frequent appearances on the highlight reel.

In addition, Tyler Herro’s offseason was filmed this summer for a documentary about said offseason. If that doesn’t tell you how special his offseason was, then what will?
