Season Rundown:
Tyler Johnson had quite a unique path to the NBA, but all his hard work paid off in the end. Johnson went undrafted out of Fresno State, played with the HEAT’s summer league team and joined the Sioux Falls Skyforce of the D-League before signing with the HEAT for the remainder of the season in February after a pair of 10-day contracts. From his time in summer league, you could tell that Johnson was a gifted athlete. He continued to improve and carried that over into his time with the HEAT, as he was able to push tempo often.
