Tyler Herro – Miami Heat
In his rookie season last year, there was a lot of hype surrounding Tyler Herro and his “swag,” and he had some great performances in the NBA Bubble during the Heat’s NBA Finals run, but this year, Herro has not looked like the same young star many thought he would be.

He still had a terrific season, coming off-the-bench in 39 of the 54 games he played in during the regular season and averaging 15.1 points per game, but he has struggled to score at times this year. If Tyler Herro is able to rekindle some of those performances he had in the NBA Bubble, the Miami Heat could quickly become a dangerous team in the postseason again and potentially surprise everyone and make back-to-back NBA Finals appearances.
Tyler Herro had a huge impact in the Eastern Conference Semifinals last year when the Heat beat the Bucks 4-1 and in this first-round series against Milwaukee this year, he could have the same kind of impact.
Against the Bucks last year, Tyler Herro averaged 13.2 PPG off-the-bench and given that he had two 20-point performances against them earlier in the season, he could end up being one of the best breakout stars in this year’s playoffs.
Miami is going to need all of the production they can get in the playoffs this year, especially with Victor Oladipo not being around due to a quad injury, so everything is aligned for Tyler Herro to remind everybody that he is one of the better young players in the league.
