Miami Heat: Handing Out 2021-22 Mid-Season Awards In December

Duncan Robinson- Biggest Disappointment

Most of the free-agent signings for the Heat have lived up to their roles and subsequent contracts. Duncan Robinson is easily the biggest exception.

Receiving a five-year deal for $90 million in free agency, Robinson was clearly valued by the Miami Heat front office. 30 games into the contract’s first season, Robinson has not lived up to the hype.

He is shooting 37.1% from the field.

He appears to be trending upward but needs to keep going to be the guy that earned the deal.

Tyler Herro- Surprising Star

After a brutal sophomore slump, Tyler Herro has found his niche on the Heat.

As the bench unit’s key playmaker and shot-maker, Herro demands the ball at all times. This role has suited him exceptionally well, as he leads the NBA in bench scoring at 20.3 ppg.

They aren’t the only guys worthy of some credit though. The big men deserve some shine too.

That goes from one of the Miami Heat’s biggest big men— to one of their littlest.
