After many doubts and constant trade rumors, Miami Heat\u2019s<\/a> Tyler Herro is coming off his best season with his first All-Star appearance. More impressively, he\u2019s on the verge of surpassing an impressive LeBron James<\/a> franchise record for this upcoming season.<\/p>\n

On the Tobin Show<\/a>, Brendan Tobin <\/a>addressed Herro\u2019s potential climb for the Heat\u2019s franchise scoring leaders. He broke down what Herro needs to do to pass James\u2019 historic four-year stint with the Heat for next season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to start off with Herro because Tyler Herro is going to go into this year, and for those who don\u2019t know, he is at 6,987 career points,\u201d Tobin said. \u201cSo he is 932 points away from matching LeBron James. Based on Tyler Herro\u2019s repertoire of seasons, as long as Tyler Herro plays about 55 games this year, it\u2019s pretty hard to imagine that he would not eclipse that mark.\u201d<\/p>\n

An underrated aspect of Herro\u2019s elite season was the fact he played a career-best 77 games. In this era of load management, Herro being able to be at his best and as available as much as he was certainly gives hope to the Heat trusting him to be among the future of the franchise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the other years, where he\u2019s actually played a good chunk of games, where he would have qualified for awards, these are the years he played 66, 67, and 77 games,\u201d Tobin continued. \u201cHe\u2019s been about 1300 points, 1300 points, and then 1800 points in change over all those years. Which would mean, Tyler Herro is likely going to finish this year ahead of LeBron James.\u201d<\/p>\n

UDONIS HASLEM HAS MAJOR DOUBTS ABOUT LEBRON JAMES\u2019 TEAMMATE<\/p>\n

After a dominant performance by Rudy Gobert in Game 5 of the first round, the Los Angeles Lakers had one glaring weakness. They lacked depth at the center position.<\/p>\n

Despite adding Deandre Ayton and filling their gap of another big man to play with LeBron James and Luka Doncic, Miami Heat legend Udonis Haslem has doubts about the pairing. He believes Ayton\u2019s unwillingness to roll to the basket consistently won\u2019t mesh well with the playstyle of the perimeter stars for the Lakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if you want to put him in the dunker when Luka has the ball up top, you need a roll-big that\u2019s going to be a lob threat,\u201d Haslem explained. \u201cDeandre Ayton has the size, but that\u2019s not necessarily his game. He wants to get to his spots. He wants to make his moves. He wants to pull up like he left his phone. You have to roll your (expletive) to the basket when playing with those boys.\u201d<\/p>\n

The former No. 1 pick is looking to make a resurgence with the Lakers after some lower production seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers. With the Phoenix Suns, Ayton was almost a consensus top-five center in the league. Haslem believes he will need to improve his motor to reach that level again and maximize his game alongside James and Doncic.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen, the ball is going to be in Luka\u2019s hands, the ball is going to be in Bron\u2019s hands, and Austin Reaves,\u201d Haslem continued. \u201cWe are not throwing you the ball in the post to go to work. It\u2019s not a part of the game plan. So, as much as I like the fact that they got size because they needed size, I just don\u2019t know if that\u2019s the one. Can Deadre Ayton be a guy who can roll to the basket and catch lobs? Yes, he can. But does he have the drive to do that?\u201d<\/p>\n
