Herro is a PG

[PowerofPelphrey]

Tyler played PG in Highschool and loves to have ball in his hands to pull up .. dish .. or drive.

His first few plays for the Heat tonight showed how comfortable he is with ball in his hands.

Huge mistake by Cal not letting him run the point.

He could have been deadly on pick and roll with PJ instead of running back and forth on baseline 10 times before he got the ball.

Should have let him try the point instead of trying to make him a two guard and change his shot.

I thought he could definitely have run point in spurts. He's a very good passer. I don't know if he's a full time NBA PG, but would do in a pinch. Of course I say that and he makes a terrible pass.

We had two point guards. Only so much PT at the point to go around. I realize this is extremely obvious but it’s the truth.

 

[bigsmoothie]

At the beginning of the year he was an average passer. He improved. Cal played him in the best position for the team to be successful.

:joy: Cal also messed up in having Herro only hit 18% from downtown in the NCAA.

Idiots.

Not sure where “team” would have come into play if Herro would have been PG. Could Herro been a great PG? Probably but who plays the two guard? No one that played it like Herro.

 

[bookerfan66]

Cal destroyed Tyler Herro no doubt.

 

[anon1763419335]

kid took the most shots on the team by far....cant imagine how many more he would have put up if he had the ball in his hands even more.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

He's putting in work right now

 

[Catzman]

He could've been a good pg but he was our best sg option. All there is to it.

 

[BlueBomb]

Herro is most definitely NOT a point guard. It would’ve been a challenge for him in college, although I’m sure he would’ve been serviceable. He’s not in the ball park of being an NBA point. JMO

 

[SophiesDad]

Yeah, damn Cal for having him play 2 guard which ended up with him going #13 overall when he wasn’t even thought of as a one and done before the season started..smh

 

[bbnkat02]

Tyler is just a smart bball player. It shows. Of course he just made that crappy pass, but this is a different level of play. He'll adjust. Kid is going to be a solid pro.

 

[Titpwhami2014]

Yes, because we had a deadly knockdown shooter named Ashton Hagans who could have easily slid over to the “2.”

Is this real life?

 

[RobJones1978]

He shot 19% from 3 in the tourney and got picked 12. I think Cal did right by him.

 

[track42]

Who in the hell do you think would have been our 2 guard?

 

[HagginHall1999]

Tyler is not quick enough to be a primary PG...not in the SEC and definitely not in the NBA. He would struggle getting by a quality NBA PG to penetrate and couldn't possibly guard his position.

He could spell at the PG because he is a total ball player and has a high IQ on the court. But playing spot minutes vs it being his primary position are two different balls of wax.

To say Cal misused him or made a mistake with Herro is laughable.

As others have said, he was a lottery pick playing SG. Cal is the only coach who could have made that happen when he walked on campus...he'd be a 3 year player at minimum if he went to Wiscy..hell he may have been a grad transfer (tongue in cheek on last part).

 

[CatfanMike47]

Cal sure ruined him from not being on any draft mocks to a lottery pick!

Just our tradition here lately- our shooters go ice freakin' cold during the tourney.

Murray did it, Monk did it, PJ at the line the next year, Tyler this year.

Don't know why it happens. Pressure I guess.



Regardless, Tyler is going to be fine in the pros and Cal got him to be a lotto pick. Yeah, OP, Cal sure ruined him.

 

[TeoJ]

Cal is so dumb I don't understand how he gets us where we are every year.He keeps recruiting all these five star player,but he is just turrible.

 

[Shaudylo]

Summer league . They definitely better not try to make him a PG when they face the big boys

 

[UKrazycat2_rivals]

Lebron will be wearing Herro pajamas.

On what planet does this make any sense?

 

[jessieshorts8]

Thank God some of our fans don't coach.:joy:

 

[westerncat]

Cal is so good that he gets 4* player drafted in the 1st round.

I appreciate Cal to the fullest, but we’ll soon see how big of a mistake that was. No offense to Hagans or Quickley, whatsoever.

Lol ! Wtf

You are a huge mistake, just sayin.
Unless your are being sarcastic... then good job

Yep. That IQ can’t shoot at all...
Tied for 1st at in 3 pt contest at the jam fest...
He sux, ***** shoulda got first alone.

 

[ukfan2410]

Never ceases to amaze me how silly some of our fans can be

 

[ORCAT]

Seems like always something for some to complain or criticize about. Tyler came in as a 4* who most were saying would be at UK for 2-3 years and Cal turns him into a lotto pick in one year. Yet. some in this thread feel Cal played him wrong and hurt him and the team. Wow, just wow! And, as others pointed out, who would have been our 2 guard?

 

[johnc17]

Yall laugh but I can see Tyler being groomed to handle PG duties. I always felt like he comp'd more to a scoring PG than 2 in the NBA. He has perfect size for it and very skilled. Learning to penetrate and defend isn't all athleticism, there's technique involved.

 

[KyFaninNC]

At the beginning of the year he was an average passer. He improved. Cal played him in the best position for the team to be successful.

I might add that not enough plays were made to get him more shots

Cal played him where he would help the team more. The game is much different in the NBA, than in college.

 

[wcc31]

Herro could have been anything at UK ... except a guy who hits 20% of his threes when it matters.

I love the kid, but he’s the most overrated player we’ve had (by the fans only). Gee- wonder why ...

Agreed. Huge 3 against Houston but other than that not much in tournament.
