How Much Could Tyler Herro Match Donovan in Utah?

[Handlogten's Heros]

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.

Wipe the tears from your eyes then look at the numbers...

Herro per 36 at 22 - 23/5.5/4.5 on 56% TS

Don per 36 at 22 - 25.3 /4.4/4.5 on 54% TS

I am not saying Herro is better... I'm saying he's not as bad as some think and not as far from Donovan's production... Certainly not turning my nose up at swapping them for one another while getting a haul of picks for my trouble.

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 also didn’t get the privilege to play with the best PNR big in the game. He also plays 32 MPG if you think that is all against the bench you’re sorely mistaken.

The time to trade for Herro was when we had Gobert. I think the drop off in talent would be compensated for some in just a psychological revamp. At this point, you only take Herro to pump up his value and parlay it into something else.

No, he becomes our Shai in our version of the OKC rebuild.

If you're jonesing for Herro, go ahead and do you. I'm out.

How can you look at those numbers and not think it’s comparable lol.

You’ll come around when we do make the deal.

Herro also has 5 inches on Donovan.

That's what she said

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

barrett might have the widest chasm in the league between how good he actually is vs how much value he has - it would would take a lot to get barrett out of nyc, but he just isn't that good. he is indeed very inefficient and doesn't do much in terms of rebounding, facilitating or defending. and hasn't really improved much in three years - the only thing that as changed significantly since his rookie season is that he's taking more shots.

Player 1 - 27mpg 18.4ppg 52%EFG 35%3p 2.5apg 4rpg 1.6tpg

Herro - 33mpg 20.7ppg 52%EFG 40%3p 4apg 4.5rpg 2.6tpg

If Player 1 would have played 6 more mpg, he would have more points per game, more rebounds per game, close to the same assists per game but less turnovers per game.

Who is player 1?

Herro doesn't have the handle, the dribble moves, the in-between game, the self-creation or the playmaking to be compared to SGA or any lead ball handler. He just isn't a lead guard.

You can have a discussion about who you'd rather have between Herro and Barrett on the wing if you want to, but you can't really compare Herro to Donovan.

I like to let my laughter tears linger....
