Tyler Herro was drafted with a mid-first-round pick. The Heat weren’t expecting much of him, but he was an important player for them as soon as his rookie season began. By his third season, Herro averaged over 20 points per game and also won Sixth Man Of The Year (2021-22). Herro continued to average at least 20 points per game for his fourth and fifth seasons in the league. After his fourth season, Herror signed a 4-year $120 million contract with the Heat. The Heat would consider themselves fortunate for landing a potential NBA star as a mid-round pick in the 2019 draft. The Heat paid him handsomely after his rookie contract was up, offering him a fully guaranteed 4 year, $120,000,000 contract. Herro is an enthusiastic player who plays with a lot of energy. It wasn’t long before his playing style made him a Miami Heat fan favorite. During his rookie season in 2019-20, Herro signed a shoe deal with Nike.
Updates:
Tyler Herro didn’t have a good playoff run last season (2023-24) when Jimmy Butler was injured. But it wasn’t only Butler the team was missing; starting point guard Terry Rozier wasn’t playing either. It could be that playing without his point guard impacted him more than the absence of Butler. Herro is locked into a big contract, and Portland wasn’t interested in trading Lillard for him. The Heat are likely stuck with Herro for a few years, so they will want to see him play well during the 2024-25 season. 9/15/2024
