After turning heads left and right during Summer League, Miami Heat rookie Tyler Herro is drawing high praise from head coach Erik Spoelstra.
Spoelstra says his biggest takeaway after watching Herro in Summer League is the Heat youngster loves competition and is always looking for ways to improve his game.
“Tyler embraced the new challenge of Summer League very well. He picked up things very quickly. But the most important things were that he embraced the competition, and he was very open and eager to learn about how we operate. Tyler’s very ambitious, and he has a terrific capacity for work,” Spoelstra told Shandel Richardson of The Athletic.
“He has fit in very well this summer in our player development program. We expected that based on everything we heard about him before the draft. We obviously have big expectations for him, but we know there will be a process to his progress. I like that the high expectations of our franchise and for him bring a higher level of play out of him. It motivates him. He’s a competitor. Those kinds of guys tend to do well with us.”
In four games in the Las Vegas Summer League for the Heat, Tyler Herro averaged 19.8 points while shooting 41.7 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from beyond the arc.
Herro's 19.8 points per game were second on the Heat behind guard Kendrick Nunn. The Heat are very excited to bring in Herro and hoping the sharpshooter will help the team make the playoffs next season.
