How would Terry Rozier-Tyler Herro Miami Heat dynamic work?


Q: Ira, you mentioned last week how Tyler Herro and Terry Rozier play the same way and might not fit together. The shots against Cleveland were the same shots Tyler would take. I think you’re right. So who wins? – Michael.

A:It’s not about who wins or who loses, it’s about how to best make the pieces fit. At the ends of close games, especially in the playoffs, the playbook often gets taken out of the equation and shot creation becomes essential. Tyler Rozier is a shot creator. So is Tyler Herro. There is nothing wrong with having multiple such players on the court at closing time. In fact, it is preferable, making the opposition pick their poison. It is at the other times during the game when the overlap can become limiting, preventing such players from getting into a rhythm. I would expect, if/when Tyler returns, that Erik Spoelstra largely would stagger the minutes with Tyler and Terry. It still can be a win-win proposition.
