It’s normal when you have a job to want to climb the ladder within the company. Two years ago, Tyler Herro was the most stylish rookie in the bubble and Jack Harlow had just released a sound in his name. Today, the Milwaukee native intends to come to Erik Spoelstra’s office with the Sixth Man of the Year trophy in hand and show that he can start next year.
What a season from Miami anyway. A first place in the East accompanied by a presence in the Conference Finals: life is really good in Florida. The arrival of Kyle Lowry and PJ Tucker alongside Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler was good, but Tyler Herro’s big contribution off the bench helped the Heat to a new level. The former Kentucky player averaged 20.7 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists over the season. A very very good third season for the back of the Heat, elected Sixth Man of the Year in front of Kevin Love and Cam Johnson. As for the Playoffs, the Miami back struggled to find consistency: he went from 14.7 points in the first round to 9.3 points on average in the Eastern Conference Finals, with the addition of a groin damn capricious which deprived him of a large part of the series. Today, Tyler is on vacation and is already starting to plan for the 2022-23 financial year. Present at the end of season press conferencethe arsonist wishes to cross a new level: he would like to be subscribed to the starting five of the Heat next year.
“In a way, I would like to be a starter. It’s my fourth season, I think I’ve earned it, and we’ll see what happens. –Tyler Herro
A rather logical statement for a player who seems to be in full swing and who only wants to set fire to the holders. Another interesting info, Tyler Herro is eligible until the October deadline for a contract extension. And following such a trophy, the amount requested by the former Kentucky and his agent can be great, and that’s normal. The Heat can approve the project, but for that it will be necessary that Tyler does not waste his extra ticket shoots. Of the ten games played as a starter this season, the Milwaukee native posted an average of 20.5 points, very close to his total average. But in exchange, he loses his effectiveness: by adding only three additional shots on average, Tyler Herro goes from 44% over the season to 37.6% shooting success as a holder. It is also necessary to see if the balance of the team is not disturbed because the bench will lose its striking power and not only a little. Afterwards, it is possible that Mr. Herro’s journey resembles that of James Harden ten years ago. Voted Sixth Man of the Year on the OKC side during his third season (well, well), El Barbudo exploded as a starter in… Houston. That doesn’t mean that Tyler Herro is going to be traded this summer either, far from it, but he’s going to knock loudly on the door of the Heat’s front office to get his greenbacks. See if the two parties can come to an agreement.
“I’m not sure yet, honestly, what’s going to happen. […] We’ll see what happens this summer. My agent will talk to whoever he needs to talk to, and we’ll see what happens. »
Tyler Herro has reached a real milestone this season, now we have to see if Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra will be ready to offer him a deal and a role that meets his expectations. Heat fans are hoping the storyline will follow the logical flow of things. Otherwise, some franchises are likely to hover around the arsonist in 2023.
