Nearly 14 months ago — 420 days, to be exact — Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro had one of the most spectacular playoff performances for a rookie in NBA history. He tallied 37 points in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics — the most ever by a rookie in conference finals history.
Contrary to popular belief, outside of his one spectacular performance, Herro wasn’t some can’t-miss-star-in-the-making in the bubble, like some perceived him to be. He wasn’t bad, either: Outside of his 37-point performance, Herro averaged 14.9 points, 5.
