Miami Heat: Tyler Herro Could Be A Contender For 2 Regular Season Awards

While there are other really good players on the second unit for the current iteration of the Miami Heat, Tyler Herro might be the best pure scorer on the team and is the straw that stirs the drink with the bench.

He displayed it all in preseason and all with a new-look physique. He showed you the ability to handle better in and under pressure from the defense.

He showed you how his improved strenght and muscle will translate to his finishes in the lane and at the rim, while also showing you how he will use it to be better with his overall floor game. He hit jump shots from here, from there, and from everywhere.

He was simply amazing in the Miami Heat’s preaseason. That was so much so the case that if he continues this type of production into the NBA Regular Season, he will, not only, be in contention for one regular season NBA honor but two of them.
