Tyler Herro takes the floor this season as a Milwaukee Buck, wearing No. 11, after spending last season with Miami. The 26-year-old guard, listed at 6-5 and 195 pounds, is in his seventh season out of Kentucky. Last season with the Heat, he appeared in 33 games and averaged 20.5 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 31.3 minutes per night, shooting 48.0 percent from the field, 37.8 percent from three and 91.7 percent from the line for a 60.2 true shooting mark. That kind of volume and efficiency arrives in Milwaukee as a fresh look for a backcourt that now runs through him.
02Health ReportHerro is not on the injury report right now.
Herro is not on the injury report right now. His only recent hiccup was a day-to-day rest listing on Oct. 14, tagged "Day-To-Day Rest · Other," and the box score matched it — he logged 0.0 minutes with zero points, rebounds and assists against Chicago that night. Two days later, on Oct. 16, he was cleared, and he backed it up immediately with 23.5 minutes and 25 points in a win over Indiana. For now, there's nothing lingering on the report.
03Recent FormHerro's last five outings: Oct.
Herro's last five outings: Oct. 16 vs. Indiana, a win, 25 points, three rebounds, three assists in 23.5 minutes with a plus-4.0; Oct. 14 vs. Chicago, a loss, the rest-day DNP at 0.0 minutes; Oct. 11 vs. Charlotte, a loss, 18 points, seven rebounds, two assists in 22.7 minutes; Oct. 7 vs. Oklahoma City, a win, 13 points, three rebounds, three assists in 22.6 minutes with a plus-8.0; and Oct. 5 vs. Minnesota, a loss, 11 points, three rebounds, three assists in 19.4 minutes with a minus-11.0. Minutes have climbed back up since the rest day, and the Indiana game stands as his best outing of the stretch.
04Last Season's Stretch RunIn the final weeks of last season with Miami, Herro carried heavy minutes in big spots.
In the final weeks of last season with Miami, Herro carried heavy minutes in big spots. He played 41.9 minutes and scored 30 points in a win over Philadelphia on March 30, then 40.3 minutes and 18 points in a loss to Boston on April 1. Two losses to Toronto followed — 14 points in 30.0 minutes on April 7, then 15 points in 28.2 minutes on April 9 — before he closed the stretch with a win over Atlanta on April 12, setting up teammates more than scoring: five points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in 22.3 minutes. Across the full season, his usage rate was 24.8 percent with a minus-1.2 plus-minus.
05OutlookThere's no rumor attached to Herro right now, and the injury column reads clean.
There's no rumor attached to Herro right now, and the injury column reads clean. Milwaukee will want more nights like the Indiana game — 25 points, efficient minutes — and fewer like the quieter showings against Minnesota and Charlotte. Keeping his minutes climbing without another rest-related absence is the next thing to watch as he settles into his new team.
