How Much Could Tyler Herro Match Donovan in Utah?

[LoPo]

I cannot believe there is actually discussion of Donovan Mitchell vs Herro. Disgraceful.

I'm sure a couple years ago, there would be a discussion of Duncan Robinson vs Bojan too.

Herro is a 3rd maybe 4th option type guy. He's never going to carry any team anywhere.

Only 22... I mean if he got to 23/5/5 on similar percentages he's pretty close to AS territory.

I get why people want RJ more because of the type of player he could become. His situation is a little tough too... but in 5 years we may look back and see it wasn't really close at all.

I like Barrett for sure but he’s super inefficient right now. Also still young. I also think Herro could come a little cheaper.

He can't create on the ball like Donovan. He plays mostly off the ball and moves the ball. The roles are very different.

That is not always a bad thing. In fact it allows you to bring in other options that prefer to play with ball in hand. I think he does more with the ball than we may think.

Tell me which one is Herro’s and which one is Mitchell’s based off of these charts.

Those are shot charts and have nothing to do with running the offense, playing on the ball, or even playing against starters vs. bench players. Why don't you compare Donovan's FG%s to Bogdanovic's while you're at it.

You compared Herro to Burks lol. Don’t even get me started.

Herro’s usage percentage at the same age is a lot lower than Mitchell’s too. Herro is definitely more efficient.

I seriously doubt the Jazz are going to trade Mitchell and take back Herro as the centerpiece. If they wanted to do that, they could have done it by now.

Yes, very similar roles. Of course, I'm talking about Burks in his prime.

I can say Herro and Harden had very similar roles at the same age.

Herro plus picks and pick swaps.

Because Herro has the benefit of playing off the gravity that Butler, Bam and Lowry provide. He gets open looks and open lanes. He also comes off the bench most the time, so he plays against bench players.

Herro, Robinson, Yurtseven and three FRPs has already been on the table for a week. Jazz won't do it.
