MIAMI HEAT: Tyler Herro || ATG MVP

Tyler Herro showcases his talent en route to signing Miami Heat contract ------------------------------ LAS VEGAS — Tyler Herro was the first Miami Heat player to take the floor before the Heat played the Orlando Magic. As he warmed up, it looked like Herro was in his own world, processing pregame thoughts by taking different variations of 3-point shots. It's something Heat fans could become accustomed to now that Herro has signed his rookie contract and put trade rumors to rest — for now. Since Herro came into the league as the Heat's 13th overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft, the Milwaukee native has been in the middle of multiple moves. On Saturday, Miami acquired All-Star forward Jimmy Butler in a sign and trade, shipping away Josh Richardson and Hassan Whiteside in the process. On Tuesday, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported Miami was a potential trade partner that appealed to 2017 NBA MVP Russell Westbrook. That type of trade might have included Herro. With his contract now signed, by NBA league rules the Heat cannot trade him for at least 30 days. For his part, Herro took the storm in stride. "You can see something new every day," Herro said of the NBA from Vegas. However, he's facing that bit of uncertainty head-on by taking on the challenge of proving he's a complete basketball player. During Herro's game against the Magic, just the third of four scheduled games in the 2019 NBA Las Vegas Summer League, the Kentucky product did what he's known for, which is the pure penchant to score. He scored 25 points, besting the 23 he dropped on the Chinese World Cup team. This offensive prowess was well-known at Whitnall High School, where he scored 32.9 points per game his senior year in 2017-2018, and garnered attention from Power 5 programs from Wisconsin, where he originally committed, to Arizona and eventually Kentucky. After he decommitted from the Badgers — a move that drew the ire from what seemed like the entire state of Wisconsin — he signed and enrolled at Kentucky, and was the SEC Newcomer of the Year after averaging 14 points per game for the Wildcats. ------------------------------ More Information: https://www.courier-journal.com/story/sports/college/kentucky/2019/07/10/tyler-herro-signs-miami-heat-rookie-contract-kentucky/1697750001/ https://www.aseaofblue.com/2019/7/16/20695737/heat-news-tyler-herro-nba-summer-league-2019-uk-wildcats https://www.12up.com/posts/tyler-herro-officially-signs-with-heat-and-can-t-be-included-in-russell-westbrook-trade-for-a-month-01dfezqe2jk6 ------------------------------ #TylerHerro #MiamiHeat #NBA Instagram: atgmvp sports Facebook: ATGMVP Sports Twitter: atg_mvp
