Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro wants to start next season.
The freshly minted Sixth Man of the Year award winner made that clear Tuesday during his exit interview with the media.
"Yeah, for sure," Herro said. "In some way, I would like to start. I think it's my fourth year, so I think I've earned it and we'll see what happens."
Herro averaged 20.7 points, five rebounds and four assists this past season while helping the Heat to the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Herro, who is in line for a big contract extension this offseason, said he is unsure whether a deal will happen prior to the October deadline.
