Heat’s Pat Riley challenges Tyler Herro to earn starting job: ‘Come to training camp and win it’

Jimmy Butler Miami heat This season was a success, but Tyler Herro wasn’t too late. The third-year guards livened up the match this season with an average of 20.7 points, five rebounds and four assists. Winner of the Sixman of the Year Like a landslide.After Heat loses at the Eastern Conference Finals Boston CelticsThe hero said in his exit interview: Getting a starting point is a priority.. “I want to get started. I think it’s my fourth year, so I think I’ve earned. Let’s see what happens,” he said.

The hero has the talent of a starter in this league, and he certainly showed it as one of Miami’s best playmakers this season. But Heat President Pat Riley challenges the hero if he wants to jump from the bench to the starter.

“The next step for him-and I think we’re seeing this in the league-if you want to win the championship and you want to be a starter, you really have to be an interactive player today Don’t be ” Riley said on monday.. “We need to improve in certain areas of the game. This year his defenses have improved. He has a wonderfully quick foot …

“But as long as you’re a starter, come to the training camp and win. Sometimes it’s easy, sometimes it’s a good fit because there are people who can balance the energy of the score and really control the ball. He wants to be a starter for October. That’s what you earn. There’s no doubt he has such qualities. “

Some might think that Riley downplays the hero, but it was actually presented as more challenging for young guards. The hero has shown that he can get whatever he wants with an attack, but he is responsible for the playoffs of the last few seasons. When he is on the floor, the team targets him defensively. He must at least strive to be an average defender. That way, when he’s in line with other teams, those one-on-one opportunities won’t be given to other teams.

Riley’s comments are also interesting. Because this summer, heroes will line up with the extension of rookie Max. Herro is eligible for a five-year contract worth $ 181 million., But given his struggle in the postseason, it would be intriguing to see how much the heat really gives him. If he and Heat do not reach an agreement on the extension by mid-October, the hero will become a restricted free agent next summer and have the opportunity to look elsewhere.

Miami will have the ability to match the offer sheets received by heroes if it reaches a restricted free agent next summer, but it will enter dangerous waters. Opponent teams could offer the hero more than Miami wants to pay him, which could lead to the possibility of losing him for free. But my guess is that the rest of Riley and Miami’s front office doesn’t make it that far. Heroes have been an integral part of the success of the heats of the last three seasons, and they’ll probably want to keep him in Miami for the foreseeable future.
