Tyler Herro Shines Despite Challenging Season

The Miami Heat are significantly increasing their 3-point attempts this season, averaging 39.2 attempts per game, which ranks 10th in the NBA. However, their shooting efficiency is only 12th in the league at 37%, with Tyler Herro being a notable contributor, averaging 24.2 points and shooting 45.2% from beyond the arc. The Heat's recent attempts to trade Herro for Damian Lillard fell through, but the team now benefits from Herro's improved performance, which has sparked talks of his potential All-Star bid. Jimmy Butler, despite dealing with injuries, remains a critical emotional leader and scorer for the team, recently showcasing his capabilities with a 30-point game. While Herro's scoring has surged, the Heat still need contributions from other players to consistently elevate their overall performance. The team's success hinges on balancing Herro's emerging star power with Butler's leadership and the need for improved shooting from other rotation players.
