He's 21 years old, has stepped up in the postseason and is making improvements.

However, there are conflicting factors when considering Herro's potential production. Heading into 2021-22, Herro should practically be locked into minutes in the high-20s, and he should continue to occupy a sixth-man role. He also increased his vision significantly, jumping from 3.9 assists per 100 possessions to 5.6 assists per 100 possessions while keeping his turnovers nearly stagnant. He decreased his mid-range jumpers, replacing them with more shots at the rim, and he improved as a finisher at the basket. There are encouraging signs of growth if you know where to look. Herro ranked 131st in per-game production last season behind 15.1 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 30.3 minutes. While he did improve, it wasn't the leap forward that fantasy managers expected. Hyland has all the appeal of a higher-end, cost-controlled cornerstone for teams prepping or leaning further into a reset-should Denver pursue an acquisition impactful enough to warrant making him available.After an impressive playoff run in the bubble during the 2020 playoffs as a rookie, Herro was viewed as having plenty of upside as a sophomore last season. This is someone who might be both a primary playmaker and leading scorer, and he still has three years left on his rookie-scale contract. He has the handle to put defenses on tilt when attacking inside the arc, and his passing ability was a pleasant surprise for the Nuggets. Outside shooting will endear Bones to teams on its own, but he's more than his boundless range and touch. He buried 36.7 percent of his spot-up triples and 36.9 percent of his pull-up treys-marks that may be his floor after he downed 47.2 percent of his off-the-bounce treys post-All-Star break. His season-long shooting numbers barely tell the story. He can uncork mega-deep threes, down standstill triples and rain hellfire from the perimeter off the dribble. The functional pressure his range puts on defenses belies his age (21)-and a certain logic. Injuries up and down the Denver Nuggets roster forced him into a more prominent role than rookies tend to play on teams with immediate aspirations, but the outsized responsibility looked good on him.Īt his core, Bones is a caps-lock, italics-text SHOOTER. That shock will wear off.īones has quickly emerged as one of the crowning steals from the 2021 draft. Surprised to see Bones Hyland this high? Or here at all? Don’t worry. Herro, for all his offensive value, isn't that sure thing. Bankrolling maxes, however, takes serious consideration if you're entering a rebuild or youth movement unless the player in question is unequivocally on the superstar track. New contracts should not be considered a deal-breaker. That means offering him a contract starting above $31 million in Year 1 (2023-24) based upon the current salary-cap projections. Nobody is acquiring Herro without intending to keep him, and retaining him could cost max money. But his extension eligibility hurts his standing here more than anything. Miami's opponents went after him relentlessly-and often successfully. Herro's defensive limitations will prompt select teams to devalue him. His mid-range touch spans everything from stop-and-pop jumpers to feathery floaters, and he was one of just six players to convert 37.5 percent or more of his pull-up triples on at least three attempts per game. Herro is coming off a season in which he registered among the Miami Heat’s most stabilizing half-court forces. Twenty-two-year-old tough shot-makers still on their rookie-scale deals seldom become available. Others will have Tyler Herro higher up on this board. This is more of a "Which teams are both equipped and most likely to monitor the blockbuster trade market, and what is the best asset they have to flesh out prospective packages?" situation. Please be careful not to interpret inclusion as "Team X should trade Player Y or Pick Z!" endorsement.

Draft picks are fair game, whether they're moved in real-time or after they turn into actual prospects. Sign-and-trade candidates (shout-out Deandre Ayton) will be excluded since there are too many variables for which to account.
