Should The Miami Heat Consider Making Tyler Herro The No. 1 Scoring Option?

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro had 35 points in Monday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. Jimmy Butler sat most of the fourth quarter

At times, it looked like Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro was playing by himself in Monday's loss to the Milwaukee Bucks. 

He finished with a season-high 35 points on 12 of 21 shooting. He also had eight rebounds, three assists and a steal. 

"I felt this is probably the best I've felt all season," Herro said. "Just mentally slowing down, getting to my spots, getting guys involved ... I'm going to continue to get better, more patient, more comfortable in my role." 

The question now is this: Should the Heat make Herro the focal point of the offense? Forward Jimmy Butler has often said he prefers to set up his teammates, playing more off the ball. Center Bam Adebayo has dealt with aggression issues on offense throughout his career. 

The fact Herro led a fourth-quarter comeback with Butler on the bench could be a sign he is ready for the leading role. The Heat trimmed a 25-point lead to eight with Herro on the court with Nikola Jovic, Jaime Jaquez and Orlando Robinson. 

"That's who we are," Herro said. "Put all of us young guys out there and we're going to fight like it's our last game ... I know we didn't get the win, there are no moral victories in this league, but it's good and encouraging to see the fight in our second unit."
