Gifted and confident Miami Heat guard whose clutch shooting, scoring ability and resilience have made him one of the NBA's most exciting young players.
Tyler Herro was born in Thiensville, Wisconsin on 20 January 2000. A supremely confident scorer with an advanced offensive arsenal, Herro has been one of the Miami Heat's most important offensive weapons since entering the league as the 13th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. He famously starred in Miami's 2020 NBA Finals run, hitting huge shots in the bubble and winning the Eastern Conference Finals Sixth Man of the Year nod. He won the NBA Sixth Man of the Year award in 2022. He has developed into a starter-level scorer averaging over 20 points per game. His pull-up shooting, creative shot creation and competitiveness define his game. A hand injury disrupted his 2022-23 season but he recovered to continue his development as one of the league's premier young scorers.
