MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) -— Kentucky’s sharpshooter Tyler Herro will have a new home in Miami. Herro was selected with the 13th pick in the NBA draft on Thursday night.
Herro was a 36 percent shooter from 3-point range in his lone college season for the Wildcats, and went 87 for 93 from the foul line. He was picked as the SEC’s newcomer of the year, and the Wildcats were 19-0 when he scored at least 15 points.
Herro was just the second pick the Heat made since choosing Josh Richardson 40th overall in 2015. The Heat had no picks in 2016, chose Bam Adebayo with the 14th pick in 2017 and made no selections again last year.
