Norman Powell’s rise is exposing the Heat’s blind loyalty to Tyler Herro

The Miami Heat should seriously be second-guessing their loyalty to Tyler Herro. If nothing else, Norman Powell could give the Heat another option if they can't find a middle ground on extension talks with Herro next summer.

That's not necessarily an indictment of Herro, but it mostly speaks to just how good Powell has looked in a Heat uniform.

Since his preseason debut, there's not much that Powell has done wrong. Through the first two regular-season games, Powell is averaging 22 points, eight rebounds, and three assists per game on 48 percent shooting from the field and 50 percent shooting from 3-point range.
