It seems that Tyler Herro, the guard for the Miami Heat, took stock of his situation this offseason.
The previous Sixth Man of the Year changed physically to achieve this. Herro debuted his new buzz cut haircut on his Instagram story on Friday night. The image was followed by another of Herro from his time as a member of the Kentucky Wildcats, donning a durag. It said, “Getting my waves together,” in the caption.
Not only is he not the only famous athlete who has gone completely blonde for training camp; the quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals also showed up to camp sporting a blonde buzz cut.
It is time for Herro to change how he plays the game. In addition to several injuries, last year’s campaign featured inconsistent shooting. In just 42 games, he made an appearance and made 44.1 percent of his shots. The world knows that Herro has a gene for scoring goals first, but he has not used it yet.
In the event that All-Star Bam Adebayo leaves for another team in the summer, Herro will be forced to take Jimmy Butler’s place. His ability to score frequently has been demonstrated by the three seasons in a row that he has averaged more than 20 points. On the other hand, Butler’s strong season can lead to Herro moving to a new place.
If the Heat guard improves significantly in the next campaign, “Buzz Cut Herro” might become a regular feature.
