With Powell leading the team with over 25 points per game and Herro returning, who was an All-Star last season, some may have concerns about limited opportunities for both. However, Powell downplayed any adjustment period for the two backs, saying he has worked well in the past with multiple players dominating the ball.

“I think we’re going to complement each other with our style of play, the way they guard me,” Powell told ClutchPoints on Nov. 16. “Now they have to guard Tyler as well. So I think we’ll have him in a lot of rotations, especially with the pace. We’re both unselfish players.”

Tyler Hero on the prospect of a fully healthy Heat team

As Powell teased an explosive relationship with the Heat star in Herothe team’s new offense could even help the seamless duo, as there is a lack of playmaking in the game, rather than the team emphasizing a fast and loose system. The ball found its way into everyone’s hands, and with the shot-creating DNA of both players, Miami has a chance to be an even harder team to scout.

Moving on from Hero and Powell, the team returns Andrew Wiggins and Nikola Jovic after both missed several games, on Wednesday fans of the first game will be able to see a completely healthy roster. Already achieving early success, Herro envisions a “super efficient” the team.

“I was bummed when (I saw) Norm come out tonight, you know, I just wanted to see it all come together,” Hero said after his season debut, scoring 24 points and grabbing seven rebounds. “Talking to (assistant coach Chris) Quinn, it’s going to be a process, you know, we’ve played about 20 games already and I’ve missed almost all of them, so I’m just getting acclimated in the starting five, you know, and seeing how well (Powell) and (Wiggins) and each other play the right way and each other play the right way be themselves.”

Tyler Hero thinks that with everyone on the court injured, the Heat will be “super efficient.”
