In a revealing moment, Tyler Herro shared on 'The OGs Show' that he was promised by the Boston Celtics to be selected with the 14th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, only to be drafted by the Miami Heat at 13. Herro expressed his excitement about the opportunity to join Miami, calling it a blessing.
Since joining the Heat, Herro has become a pivotal part of their roster, notably contributing during their 2020 NBA Finals run. Although he was sidelined due to injury during the Heat's 2023 Finals appearance, his impressive performances have solidified his role on the team. As the Celtics selected Romeo Langford with the 14th pick, Herro's inclusion could have altered the Celtics' roster significantly, particularly regarding their recent trades for guards Derrick White and Jrue Holiday.
