Herro won Sixth Man of the Year in 2022, the first Heat player to take the award, averaging 20.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 66 games with only ten starts. He made his first All-Star team in 2025. Across 394 games he has averaged 19.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists, and after seven seasons in Miami he now plays for Milwaukee. The knock was always defense and availability rather than shot-making — the release is genuinely quick and the range is real. Whether the scoring translates on a team that does not run its offense through Miami's structure is the open question, and it is the one his next two seasons will answer more honestly than any of his first seven did.

Defensive Game
Below-average on-ball defender who can be targeted by opponents. Has shown improvement in off-ball awareness and positioning but remains a defensive liability against elite guards.
Intangibles
High-IQ scorer who understands spacing, timing, and when to hunt his shot versus facilitate. His decision-making in the fourth quarter has become increasingly reliable.

Did You Know?
He became the youngest player in NBA history to score 37+ points in a conference finals game, doing so at age 20 in the 2020 ECF against Boston.
Herro grew up a Milwaukee Bucks fan in suburban Milwaukee and idolized Kobe Bryant — both influences visible in his scoring approach and competitive mentality.
He signed a four-year, $130 million extension in 2022 — one of the largest contracts ever given to a reserve player at the time of signing.
His son Bentley was born in early 2022, and Herro has spoken frequently about how fatherhood changed his perspective on preparation and longevity.
