Herro, who is the front-runner for the Sixth Man of the Year Award, is averaging 8.9 shots per game this season with the closest defender within four feet, according to NBA tracking stats. Jimmy Butler is the only Heat player who has attempted more contested shots than Herro, averaging 10.1 such shots per game. How does Herro, 22, define a bad shot for himself? “For me, I would say just like context of game, score and time, where I’m at on the floor,” Herro said ahead of Saturday night’s matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers, which opens a season-long seven-game homestand for the Heat. “That’s kind of how I judge or guide when I should take a shot. I think the flow of the game, if we’ve had two or three bad possessions, it’s probably not a good time for me to take another quote, unquote bad shot. Just trying to know when the right time is to be aggressive and when is the right time to make plays.”
