Bill Raftery compares Tyler Herro to Larry Bird

he compared Herro to one of the greatest to ever play the game: Larry Bird.

“One freshman that just knows how to play is the Herro kid,” Raftery said on The Sidelines with Evan Daniels podcast. “He’s great without the ball, he’s unselfish, pull-up game, just handles it nicely.”
