Golden State Warriors should consider Tyler Herro

Tyler Herro is one of the more interesting names that could become available this summer. He followed up a strong rookie season with a questionable sophomore stint, leaving his future in Miami hanging in the balance.

Reasons to pursue

Herro is chock-full of potential. He helped lift the Heat to an NBA Finals run last year with his craft playmaking and red-hot shooting ability. Herro posted 16.0 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in last year’s bubble. He can do it all on offense and he’s only going to get better with time.

Even in his underwhelming sophomore season, Herro averaged 15.1 points on 44/36/80 shooting splits. He’s only 21-years-old and can be a long-term piece for the Warriors moving forward.

Reasons to pass

The Warriors aren’t the best trade partners for Miami. The most valuable asset Golden State can offer is James Wiseman but it doesn’t make sense for the Heat to take on another center with Bam Adebayo already leading their charge. It also doesn’t fit the Warriors mold of winning now. What use is trading an inexperienced prospect for an equally young prospect?

Giving up a collection of other players and picks might be a huge risk for a player who hasn’t proven himself yet. While I personally believe Herro has a bright future in this league, I’m not sure this is the time for Golden State to take a swing at him.

Verdict: Pass
