However, that may be because Herro\u2019s missed at least 15 games in every season he\u2019s been drafted. Indeed, he\u2019s missed 103 games combined since the 2019-20 season.<\/p>\n<p>Whether or not that\u2019s the case, the Heat know how to win without Herro.

They\u2019re just not winning nearly as often.<\/p>\n<p>Miami is 163-115 with the Kentucky product since the 2019-20 season, averaging 109.9 points per game and shooting 36.4 percent from 3 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statmuse.com\/nba\/ask?q=miami+heat+record+with+tyler+herro+since+2019-20\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">with him in the rotation<\/a>. Without Herro, they\u2019re only a bit less productive offensively, averaging 109.4 points per game and shooting 35.5 percent from 3. Yet, they\u2019re a team that\u2019s already middling in terms of firepower. As a result, their margin for error is thinner.<\/p>\n<p>To that point, Herro is <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/basketball\/2023\/08\/31\/top-25-nba-players-under-25-no-22-tyler-herro\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">among\u00a0their best deep threats<\/a> and a capable shot-creator. The 2022 Sixth Man of the Year, Herro\u2019s averaged 18.1 points and made 38.5 percent of his 3s since being drafted.
