Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro was the far and away the NBA’s top sixth man this season. He received 96 of the 100 first place votes for sixth man of the year — which he won, convincingly — and set a Heat franchise record for most total points off the bench with 1,162.
Herro, 22, was arguably the Heat’s top offensive spark during the regular season for a team that finished atop the Eastern Conference at 53-29 despite overcoming adversity at several points throughout the season.
But the reigning 6MOY expressed desire to potentially start next season Tuesday, assuming the opportunity gets presented to him.
