Tyler Herro

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

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 think I can just bring shooting to stretch the floor.

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

Obviously making the adjustment to playing against grown men in the NBA, it's all a learning curve.

I'm always excited to play my hometown, but I'm kind of past the Milwaukee thing.

I think I can play in pick-and-rolls, I can create a little bit more than people think... I'm much more than a shooter.

I can assure you, I'm not no Dwyane Wade yet.

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.

You can't survive in this league if you don't have confidence.

It's just about putting in the work and really putting in time and effort to something you love.

You know, at the end of the day, all you can do is work at it, perfect your craft, come in with a great attitude and just respect everybody in the building.

My confidence is just, that's just who I am.

Went from Milwaukee, a small town in Milwaukee, to Kentucky. Nobody thought I'd survive there.

I definitely feel comfortable with the ball in my hands.

Every time I go out there I try to bring my A-game and show people I can do more than just shoot.

I'm just going to bet on myself. I've been doing that my whole life.

Honestly, I don't really tell the difference whether I'm on the ball or off the ball because I think it is positionless.

I just try to continue to get better.

I feel like I can make plays, finish around the rim.

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

It was amazing, really a dream come true, to not only get drafted by the Heat, but then also to be here with Pat Riley and the rest of the coaching staff.

Being able to go to Kentucky, they had the right blueprint for me to be able to go to the NBA after one year.

My goal was to get to the NBA.

Going to Kentucky... it's not really a college experience. You go there for basketball. You get your studies together, but then after that, it's all about basketball.

When you see me play, you're going to see more and more.

Work hard. Treat everybody with respect. That's really what it comes down to.

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.

I definitely can shoot. I definitely like to talk trash, too.

I love being in a spot where not only do I expect my own greatness - I'm also part of an organization that expects greatness from me. Or just think of it this way: Would you want to be the dude who lets Pat Riley down?

Jimmy Butler is a winner.

I grew up playing baseball.

I really like the city. I was able to drive around to see different place and I've been to a few different restaurants. I definitely like it and I'm happy to end up in Miami.

I like being in the gym and getting better every day.

Obviously, there's a dream of being one of the best players to ever play.

I try to prove I'm the best player on the court every time I step out there.

I want to write my own story.

For me, when I look at a guy I can model my game after, I want to make it realistic and something I can chase and something that's reality.

Growing up, I didn't really play in a lot of All-Star games.

Before I left for the bubble, a couple days prior I started taking notes on everything I was doing, how my workouts were and stuff like that. I just did it throughout the bubble. It does help me for sure. It keeps me locked in, just always reminding myself of what I need to do.

I'm just standing behind the Black Lives Matter movement. I stand behind it and support it. And I feel I have a voice and a platform to be able to push it and that's what I'm going to continue to do.

They've really made it so that we can continue our regular lifestyle here in the bubble that we would do in Miami.

I always was into it, just seeing guys growing up on TV in postgame conferences and seeing how they're dressed, glasses they're wearing. That kind of just always was something that caught my eye. Now I got the opportunity to show off what I wear, so I just try to take advantage of it.

Miami is a place that if you like to work, then it's good for you. Because I feel like they hold you to a higher standard.

I think Kentucky really prepared me for Miami.

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

I plan on being an All Star one day and that's what I'm set to work out to be.

I'm just trying to go out there and just hoop.

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

I love getting everyone involved and making plays.
