Two-way star Caglianone ready to work after signing with Heat…

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro arguably had the best season of his career in 2021-22.

He won the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year after averaging 20.7 points, five rebounds and four assists. Herro came off the bench the majority of the season.

It raises this question: Is Herro better as a reserve?

The statistics say so. The Heat were the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference with Herro coming off the bench. They fell just shy of the NBA Finals after falling to the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of the conference finals.

How close were they? Jimmy Butler missed a pull-up 3-pointer that would have sent them to play the Golden State Warriors for the title. That year, Herro was praised for his play but he returned to the starting lineup the following season.
