Miami Heat\u00a0guard Tyler Herro may very well be worthy of All-Star consideration this season for his level of play so far.<\/p>\n

\n

He\u2019s having the most productive offensive campaign of his NBA career by several metrics. Namely, he\u2019s posting career-highs in points (24.1) and assists (4.8) per game. He\u2019s also knocking down a personal-best 41.3 percent of his 3-point attempts on 10.1 attempts per contest.<\/p>\n

The way Herro is scoring the ball might remind some NBA fans of one longtime\u00a0Golden State Warriors sharpshooter: Stephen Curry. Herro explained that he\u2019s trying to follow in Curry\u2019s footsteps when it comes to his shot selection.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like with my body type and the way I play, it\u2019s like Steph Curry,\u201d Herro\u00a0said. \u201cI try to make my shot profile as identical to Steph as possible. Steph shoots a lot of threes obviously, the rest of them are to the rim, layups and free throws. That\u2019s kind of what I\u2019m trying to resemble is literally what Steph\u2019s doing.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Herro isn\u2019t just talking about his desire to emulate Curry on the offensive end \u2014 he\u2019s also walking the walk. He has played 24 games this season, and thus far, 310 of his 421 shots from the floor have come either at the rim or behind the 3-point line.<\/p>\n

A whopping 242 of those field-goal attempts have come from deep, and as mentioned, he\u2019s averaging 10.1 3s taken per game in his sixth season with the Heat, his most ever at the NBA level. Only three qualified players in the entire NBA \u2014 LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller and Jayson Tatum \u2014 are currently letting it fly from deep with greater regularity.<\/p>\n

A good microcosm of Herro\u2019s mindset on offense can be found by taking a look at the number of 3s he attempted in Miami\u2019s most recent game against the\u00a0Detroit Pistons. He tied a season-high 17 attempts from deep in an overtime loss to the\u00a0Detroit Pistons\u00a0on Dec. 16.<\/p>\n

Heat fans should expect to continue to see Herro shoot the ball from deep early and often as the season progresses, especially considering he\u2019s scoring the ball from that proximity at such an efficient rate. He\u2019ll also continue to try to get high-percentage looks close to the hoop and at the charity stripe.<\/p>\n

Herro and the Heat will play their next contest at home against the\u00a0Oklahoma City Thunder on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
