Miami Heat: 3 Who Had Spectacular Preseason – ‘A Bucket’… Tyler Herro

Tyler Herro was inspiring to watch in the preseason. After finally having a full offseason to work on his craft, Herro got straight to business and added some speed and strength.

The results showed up on the court. He looked like an improved version of himself and by multiple times.

The biggest surprise was Herro’s ball handling. He had no problem with having the ball in his hands.

In fact, with the speed and footwork he already had, this made it even easier to get by defenders and create open shots for himself.  While it is unlikely Herro will have such a large usage rate in regular season games, this shows that Herro can be trusted to be a valuable scorer for the team.

If one of the members of Miami’s Big Three gets injured, Herro might be the one who can step up and fill in where he is needed. If the whole team is healthy, the Miami Heat will be very hard to stop with the “Baby GOAT” leading the second unit.

Though these were the guys that really looked good to open the season for Miami, the whole team looked good in knowing their roles and fitting together. If they can keep it up and especially with some of the names mentioned here, this will, indeed, be a special year for the Heat.
