The Heat’s Bam Adebayo makes a bold Stephen Curry-Tyler Herro comparison

MIAMI – Like Miami Heat vs. Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night, it will be another showdown game Tyler Herro as a consistent star. As it is Heat hopes for All-Star looks set to continue to impress, opposing defenses have begun to take notice as Bam Adebayo talks about how Herro has to adjust in the same way, the superstar of the Golden State Warriors Stephen Curry works.

This isn’t the first time Herro and Curry have been compared, especially within the team, but as Herro has consistently had a great season, defenses have been throwing double teams and even some players have been guarding him. That was evident in the win over Spurs on Sunday when Adebayo talked about how he had to adapt as Curry has done his entire career.

“He’s the focal point of a lot of scouting reports,” Adebayo said of Hero after the win against San Antonio. “For us, the understanding is that he has to play like Steph.” He might not get the ball, but go set a screen, go check somebody. That’s how you open up. “Me and him had that conversation during the game. He said, ‘Man, what should I do?’ I was like, ‘Just go on the screen for somebody.’ Literally, if you’re being guarded, just go see someone. Someone will be open. Obviously, the game is relaxed, the people are relaxed and he gets to all his moves, gets into his rhythm. He’s a phenomenal scorer, so you have to respect him.”

The Heat are Tyler Hero on the “sign of respect” he gets from the defense

As it is The heat continues with Jimmy Butler’s dramaone of the bright sides is Herro who has emerged as a key player for a team that has always led to a more solid defense. Spurs guard Stephon Castle was one to bring that intensity Sunday as Herro spoke after the game about Castle and the kind of defense he saw recently.

“He picked me up at the garage,” Herro said. “When I got out of the car, he was actually waiting for me.”

“It’s starting to happen every night,” Hero continued to the defense thrown his way. “I like it. It’s obviously a sign of respect.”

Either way, Hero will continue to be more like Curry as the Heat are 21-20, which puts them in eighth place in the Eastern Conference as they take on the Trail Blazers on Tuesday night.
