“If Tyler Herro doesn’t exist on the Miami Heat, they are a .500 club”: The 6MOTY candidate’s father highly talks about his son’s impact on the Heat this season

Tyler Herro was absolutely sensational in the Heat’s 119-112 win over the Wizards, dropping 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists off the bench.

Tyler Herro has been one of the most improved players this season. After a rather underwhelming second campaign, the Miami Heat guard has been on a tear this 2021-2022 season. Earlier this offseason, there were quite a few rumors surrounding Herro and him being traded away from the Heat. However, the 3rd-year guard chooses to let his game do the talking for him.

On Tuesday night, Jimmy Butler stuffed the stat sheet with 25 points, 15 assists, and 8 rebounds, and led the Heat to defeat the Wizards 119-112. And Jimmy Buckets received the perfect help from Tyler.

Coming off-the-bench, the role he seems to be thriving thus far, Tyler dropped 32 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists on an efficient 47.4/71.4/90 shooting split. Being Erik Spoelstra’s premier scoring option, Herro has now recorded his 3rd 30-point game of the season. Before this season, the former Kentucky Wildcat had only 3 30-point games in his first two professional campaigns.

Averaging 20.6 points, 5 rebounds, and 3,9 assists per game this season, it will be very tough not to consider him for the All-Star game. If he does manage to keep this kind of production up, he’ll not only be the frontrunner to win the Sixth Man of the Year honors, but also the Most Improved Player honors.
