In a post-game presser during the seeding games, Butler expressed his admiration for Herro. He singled-out his talent for scoring, as well as being a coachable player. It also amazes Butler how Herro seems to be wiser beyond his years.

“Love that kid to death. His growing each and every time he steps on a basketball court. Obviously he can score the ball, but he is getting everybody involved. He is listening, learning, and being coached by everybody. He is just being a great teammate. It’s crazy that he is as young as he is, but he plays the game like he’s been in the league for a long time.”

As many analysts and players have said, Herro is going to be a very good player for a very long time.
