Herro's shooting and scoring ability caught everyone's eye and this surely got him a spot in the draft this off-season. After playing only 1 year in college for Kentucky, Herro averaged 14 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists while shooting 46.2% from the field and a solid 93.5% from the free throw line.

This past off-season had been really busy for the Miami Heat as they traded in Jimmy Butler and Kendrick Nunn as another rookie. Herro is shooting an efficient 39.2% from the 3-point line and besides being just a shooter, Herro is proving to be a complete player at the NBA level as he is quick enough to drive to the basket, knows how to create space for his teammates on the floor, and has the ability to fill an open space to take a wide open shot very well.

Herro's talent is undeniable and the 2019-20 NBA season for the Heat doesn't look disorganized as they have Butler, Goran Dragic and now Herro is proving himself as one of the best rookies if not the best rookie.
