Tyler Herro

I prefer 'Boy Wonder.'

I have a lot of confidence.

Ever since I was in high school, I just tried to prove people wrong, and a lot of people doubt me and I just put a lot of work in and a lot of effort into it.

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.

Only a couple of people have like blown their horn and rolled down their window and stuff like that. But no one's been really stopping me when I'm running.

I've really stayed up with the cardio, because I know the Heat are going to make sure they want us in shape, the best shape, our body fat and stuff like that. So I've been really keeping up with my cardio.

I only need one workout to feel like my shot is back.

I put in a lot of work and you always want to see results from your work.

I just kept it off social media for the most part, put my head down, and went to work. I lived in the gym.

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.

I have one of the purest shots in the whole entire world, in the league.

If you don't look at my skin color and we just go play basketball, you're not going to say I'm a white kid that can just shoot.

I am poised and confident in what I do, so I think whether it's shot clock winding down in the playoffs or regular season game, I'm going to have the same mentality.

I think that's one thing that teams need to build around their stars: spacing to allow them to operate.

From quarantine to the bubble to the Finals, everything just happened fast.

I think everyone likes to see somebody achieve their goals.

We thought I was going to go to Boston at 14, and then Miami took me at 13. So I got blessed to come here, instead of there.

I'm a bucket.

Every day I just feel like I'm not at my best.

I like it when people are against me.

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

Having the ball is how you score, so I like having it in my hands.

I love pie. Definitely apple pie, but sweet potato pie - really any pie.

Ever since I signed with Nike I definitely got a crazy amount of shoes.

I always looked up to LeBron, how he came to the game.

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.

I remember watching when D-Wade and LeBron were here playing for the Heat. I remember watching them play the Lakers with Kobe. So I just was able to watch those games growing up and really watch my favorite players.

For me, my friends, my family, myself, we all grew up as Bucks fans just being in the hometown. I think my friends have converted into Miami Heat fans and I've done the same obviously. We're not too big on Milwaukee anymore.

I would probably say they don't like me too much back home. Some people aren't my biggest fans.

I think I'm going to surprise a lot of people.

I bring toughness. I'm a leader. I bring defense as well.

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

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.

We're always caught up in the, 'Just control the things that you can control,' and sometimes you can't control those.

Whatever my role is, I'm ready to take it on.

I feel like I can always make the most out of my role no matter what it is.

When you're preparing for a game, you prepare like you're starting. But if you're not, if you're coming off the bench, everybody has a role.

I think everybody's goal is to start, and try to impact winning as much as possible.

Seventh grade is when I met my shooting coach and he fixed my shot. I used to shoot with two hands. Really ever since is when my I started to shoot real well.

Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, I just want to be able to help and compete.

At the end of the day, I just want to play and help win.

I think the coaches are trying to push me and get me out of my comfort zone in being able to communicate with my teammates and being more of a leader on the floor.

I definitely feel like I grew up a little bit more, just as far as knowing the game more, learning more. I was able to sit back and really just watch everybody and learn.

Whatever Coach has me doing, I'm willing to do it.

I think just with repetitions and my confidence, I'll be all right.

Klay Thompson, Ray Allen, CJ McCollum, Steve Nash and Bradley Beal are the guys that's I've watched, just picking different things from each player.

On the defensive end, I just have to be better.

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.

Throughout my career, I hope to see the best defenders.

I love seeing the drop coverage.
