Right after the Miami Heat picked Kentucky guard Tyler Herro with their lottery pick Thursday night, many pundits and fans voiced their disapproval. Ethan Skolnick said the Heat didn’t draft the player with the highest upside — a sentiment that captures most of the criticism.

Hear me out. Let’s give Herro a chance.
This draft was considered thin after the top three picks. Any team picking outside the top three would be lucky to get someone who can turn into a star.
