Tyler Herro to rescue at point guard for the Miami Heat?


Q: Assuming the Heat team is generally in place – no trade for Damian Lilliard to start the season –  have the Heat done enough to replace Gabe Vincent?  There is a lot Gabe did for the Heat team on a daily basis  that wasn’t in the NBA boxscore. – Stuart, Miami.

A: That likely will come down to whether Tyler Herro is suited to play as a starting point guard. In that case, you can start Tyler at the point, and then have Kyle Lowry come in as a reserve, similar to the way he closed the season. From there, while Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo certainly can facilitate, you also could give a look at Jamaree Bouyea as the third point guard in the rotation, if needed. But what you can’t do is hold back Tyler’s offense because you play him at point guard. If Herro doesn’t thrive at the point, then there would have to be a Plan B at the point. (Hello, Goran?)
