Miami Heat: Tyler Herro The ‘Sixth Starter’ For A Reason
When you think about how the Miami Heat operate and what they might look like at peak performance, it’s a vision that sees everyone being able to get to their best stuff. When you look at the starting lineup, consisting of the top three players on the team in Kyle Lowry, Jimmy Butler, and Bam Adebayo (though Tyler is pushing Kyle Lowry for that third spot), they work well with one another.
Neither of them needs the ball in their hands all the time to be their best self. While Tyler is capable of playing off the ball a bit as well, you absolutely get the best out of him as his reign over the rock increases.

Basically, you don’t want to put him in a situation where there are others who are there to take the ball out of his hands. When you think about it, yes, he is a closer of the highest order and especially as the purest three-level scorer for this Heat team, meaning he’ll finish with the other three best players in Lowry, Butler, and Adebayo.
However, during rotational parts of the game, every other moment before the end of each half, it’s best to give Herro as many touches and as much dictation over what happens with the ball as possible. That’s how you get the most out of him.
