T HE TYLER HERRO ROOKIE CARD LINEUP MIGHT NOT HAVE ARRIVED WITH THE HYPE AND MASSIVE EXPECTATIONS OF FELLOW 2019 DRAFT PICKS ZION WILLIAMSON AND JA MORANT, BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN THE INTEREST HASN’T BEEN THERE. IT’S A TESTAMENT TO THE DEPTH OF THE YEAR’S ROOKIE CLASS. BUT WITH THE HEAT MAKING A SOMEWHAT UNEXPECTED DEEP RUN IN THE PLAYOFFS, A LOT OF EYES ARE SUDDENLY ON THE YOUNG SHOOTING GUARD.
A lottery pick in the 2019 NBA Draft (13th overall), Herro came to Miami via Kentucky. He played just one season with the Wildcats, averaging 14 points, 2.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds per game. Those numbers didn’t change much in his first season with the Heat. Herro’s per-game average of 13.5 points, 2.2 assists and 4.1 rebounds landed him a spot on the NBA All-Rookie Second Team.
