Tyler Herro is going to enter the 2025-26 campaign with a target on his back. His contract situation and potential extension have surfaced as a major talking point among Miami Heat fans, and if he hits his ceiling, he can lead a young core of Miami players for the foreseeable future.
But ironically, Herro could benefit from having a target on his back when taking on defenders because there is one key area of his game that severely lags behind his peers if he is hoping to emerge as a perennial All-Star.
Miami finished the 2024-25 season 27th in free throw attempts per game.
