As Miami Heat star Tyler Herro is enjoying a solid start to the new season, it comes off his role in the starting lineup alongside other stars such as Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo, Terry Rozier, and Nikola Jovic. However, some may say that Herro’s best fit is off the bench as Udonis Haslem said\u00a0earlier this year on an ESPN appearance which garnered a reaction from the star guard.<\/p>\n

Firstly, Herro would be asked by The Miami Herald about the thoughts from Haslem, who now has a front office role with the team as Vice President of Basketball Development. The 24-year old would talk about how he had a conversation with Haslem as each gave their thought on the matter which Herro admitted that he should not have said that, but respects his opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a conversation about it,\u201d Herro said via Barry Jackson. \u201cIt was a friendly conversation. I told him my concerns about why I didn\u2019t think he should have said that. He explained why he thought he should have said that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, it\u2019s basketball,\u201d Herro continued. \u201cOur relationship is bigger than basketball. If he thinks I should start, that\u2019s cool. If he thinks I should come off the bench, that\u2019s his opinion. Everyone has their own. It\u2019s cool. It\u2019s really no big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heat’s Tyler Herro on being a starter in the NBA<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Heat guard in Herro has spoken about his role in the past and does see himself as a starer in this league, but would do whatever the team asks him to do in order for success.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a starter in the NBA. I\u2019m a team guy,\u201d Herro said. \u201cI would love to come off the bench if that\u2019s what was needed. But I\u2019m a starter. It doesn\u2019t take away from anything else that I bring, which is I\u2019m a great teammate. I love seeing other guys have success.\u201d<\/p>\n

In terms of Haslem’s comments, he would preview the Heat after being eliminated by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the NBA Playoffs. Back in May on a \u201cNBA Today\u201d segment on ESPN, he would talk about the success that Herro has had as the sixth man and that it should be Duncan Robinson in the starting lineup.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving into the future, in today\u2019s NBA, you can still be sixth man, you can still get all your money, still get All Star in today\u2019s NBA,\u201d Haslem said. \u201cTyler\u2019s role for us, and the best role for him, is to probably be a sixth man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s taking nothing away from what Tyler does as a basketball player,\u201d Haslem continued. \u201cBut for our chemistry, we are better when we got Duncan Robinson in the starting lineup, making plays, being that trigger for us and spraying and creating for other guys\u2026Tyler can come off in that second group, doesn\u2019t have to worry about getting other guys involved. He can just play basketball, score and be who he is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heat’s Pat Riley responds to Udonis Haslem’s Tyler Herro comments\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Heat president Pat Riley who commented on Herro during his viral end of season press conference also spoke about Haslem’s ESPN appearance and admitted that he probably should not have said that.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe probably should have kept that [opinion] to himself,\u201d Riley said. \u201cWe have one voice and that voice is all of our voice. But one guy is going to distribute that information and that\u2019s Erik [Spoelstra]. If I\u2019m talking to the media every week, there\u2019s going to be controversy. Spo and I argue a lot, but I don\u2019t want to put that in the media.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat Udonis has to understand is he works for the Heat,\u201d Riley continued. \u201cI think he\u2019s really good on NBA TV or ESPN on the studio show, and he and Mike Miller are funny as hell on their podcast. Half the stories are \u2026 embellished, especially about me.\u201d<\/p>\n

It wasn’t just Haslem that has talked about a possible change in Herro’s role as there has been fan speculation for a while about the same move where it includes Robinson in the starting lineup. Consequently, Herro was even asked this during the team’s media day on Sept. 30 where he said that he’s going to trust Riley and Miami head coach Erik Spoelstra on what their decision to be.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhatever they say I am, that\u2019s what I am,\u201d Herro said. \u201cY\u2019all can say I\u2019m a starter, I\u2019m off the bench. We\u2019re going to let the best coach in the league [Spoelstra] decide, we\u2019re going to let one of the best GMs and presidents ever to do this [Riley] decide if I\u2019m starting or coming off the bench. I\u2019m willing to do whatever it takes to win a championship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Heat’s Tyler Herro on coaching staff telling him to shoot the ball more<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So far, he’s been proving Haslem and the fans wrong as while initially people thought there was too much to go around in terms of offensive usage, especially with the addition of Rozier from last season’s trade deadline, they’ve been playing well. Herro is currently averaging 18.3 points (second to Rozier), 4,7 assists, and 4.7 rebounds per game where the coaching staff has been on about him shooting more as he said after the win to the Detroit Pistons Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201c[They’ve] been on me a lot. Every shot I do pass up, in my head I\u2019m like, \u2018God damn it, I got to shoot it,’\u201d Herro said. \u201cBut I have to shoot my open ones. It\u2019s on me to shoot those shots and I\u2019ll be better\u2026Me and Terry are in that lineup, really on the team, as the ones that have to get the threes up off the catch.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, the outing against the Pistons could be seen as underwhelming since Herro had 14 first half points, but closed out the game with 19. Subsequently, there were a ton of great looks at the basket from deep late that Herro could have easily made as he made seven of 20 from the field and three of 12 from deep.<\/p>\n

Evidently, there was no doubt he left a lot on the table which could be a sign of good things to come as he told ClutchPoints that he will \u201cget back to the lab.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot frustrated. I’m not gonna get mad or hang my hat on shots falling or not,\u201d Herro said. \u201cYou know, getting good looks and shooting the ones that are open are what’s important right now. I’ll get back to the lab. My shot will fall next game.\u201d<\/p>\n

At any rate, Miami is 2-1 and look to win three straight games, but they will have their hands full as the Heat face the New York Knicks Wednesday night.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
