Poole busted out in the middle of his second season and rolled that momentum over enough into a third season that had some league insiders posing a popular behind-the-scenes question: Herro or Poole — who would you rather have moving forward? If you answered Poole, that once would’ve placed you in the ambitious minority. After this past season — when Poole led the NBA in 3s the final two months and then averaged 17 points per game on 50/39/91 shooting splits in the playoffs — you’d probably be in the majority. “Better creator, stronger going to the rim, should hold up more defensively if he just tries because he plays a little bit bigger,” one league executive said this week.

Five Degrees of Heat from Monday night’s intrasquad scrimmage: sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-h…
1. A lineup hint, perhaps.
2. Tyler Herro gets start after getting payday.
3. Everyone shooting 3s (including centers).
4. An event with meaning.
5. And now three exhibitions in four days. – 8:08 AM
