To an outside observer, Tyler Herro’s sophomore year progression was fairly typical of a player of his pedigree. Averaging 13.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.1 assists his rookie season (earning All-NBA rookie 2nd team honors), Herro bumped all his raw averages up (15.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 3.4 assists) in season number two.
Among the more subtle improvements, Herro made were increased efficiency at the rim (57% to 67% between rookie and sophomore seasons) and improved playmaking that came with a great deal more on-ball reps, largely out of necessity, as the HEAT team dealt with injuries and protocol-related absences.
