He helped the Wildcats to a 30-7 record and a trip to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament.
After one year of college, the Miami Heat selected Herro 13th overall in the 2019 NBA Draft. He was considered by many to be the best shooter available in the draft. Herro made his NBA debut in Miami’s season opener, amassing 14 points and eight rebounds in 34 minutes after getting the start.
