Highlight Mix ft. Tyler Herro!
““I feel like I’m in the same conversion as those guys. The young guys coming up in the league who can be All-Stars, superstars one day—Luka, Trae, Ja—those guys like that, I feel like my name should be in that category, too.
”I put the work in, and I’m just continuing to get better every single day. I’ve got a lot of goals in mind to be an All-Star one day and continue to chase my dream, so I’m really excited to see where I can go.””

Heading into the 2021-22 campaign, Tyler Herro had lofty goals and expectations for himself. Instead of resting on his laurels, Herro went out and perfected his extremely vital role as a go-to scorer on a team with championship aspirations.
With laser focus from the opening tip of Game #1, Herro fully embraced his duties as both a scorer & playmaker in Erik Spoelstra’s second unit - his hard work and incredible improvement culminated with a 2022 Sixth Man of the Year trophy after career-highs across the board: 20.7 ppg, 5 rpg & 4 apg.
With the supreme confidence to match his skilled, off the dribble attack (great pull-up shooter, excellent touch off the glass and on long-range bombs), Herro's able to carry Miami's offense for long stretches at a time.
