Over his last four games, former Kentucky star Tyler Herro is averaging just 7.0 points, 4.0 assists and 3.3 rebounds per contest to go with 29% shooting overall and 14% from three. He’s still averaging 14.8 points and 4.9 rebounds per game on the year, but with a 42.2% field goal percentage and 33.1% 3-point percentage – a 5.5% dip from his rookie campaign – efficiency remains an issue.
But the concerns reportedly extend beyond shooting numbers or his recent slump. According to Ethan Skolnick and Ira Winderman of the Inside the Paint podcast, Herro’s focus on earning celebrity status has become a concern for the franchise.
