Tyler Herro

“It's just a dream come true. I can't believe I'm standing here with a Miami Heat hat on, walking across the stage. It's a blessing.”

“At Kentucky that was my biggest improvement, being able to guard.”

“I feel like I'm a complete player, on the offensive end for sure.”

“Some nights, I try to play-make and some nights it's my time to be aggressive.”

“My thing is, I don't want to just be a scorer.”

“I think everyone likes to see somebody achieve their goals.”

“I want to write my own story.”

“I think once you see a couple shots go down, and when you're getting shots in rhythm, the game flows.”

“At the end of the day, everybody knows you want to play at the Division I level. But my main goal since I was little was to get to the NBA.”

“Obviously, I need to be more efficient, but as far as my numbers go, I just want to see W's starting to stack up on that win column.”

“Being drafted 13 definitely motivates me, but I love where I was drafted, I love the opportunity I was drafted into. But the 12 guys ahead of me are in the back of my head all the time.”

“Really, whatever the Heat need me to do, I think I can come in and do it. I'm happy to do whatever they need.”

“I have a lot of confidence.”

“I'm just a kid from a small town. Not many people make it from there. Shout out to Whitnall.”

“All the Kentucky guys are all close. We all wish the best for each other. Kentucky's a brotherhood.”

“I'm a bucket.”

“So I feel like while I'm in Miami, which is I hope for a while, a long time, forever, I'll be able to rep Miami and everything that's going on here.”

“As a competitor, you always want to go against the best, so whoever guards me, I'm hoping it's the best defender from the other team.”

“I didn't really know my wingspan was that short until it got measured. Either way, I was good with whatever my arm length is.”

“I grew up playing baseball.”
