Heat guard Tyler Herro studies Warriors’ Klay Thompson to improve shooting

Klay Thompson’s shot is almost perfect. Steph Curry might be considered the best shooter in NBA history, but the shape of his colleague Splash Brother is picturesque.

Miami Heat novice Tyler Herro is also taking note. The shooting guard took advantage of his time away from the field before the NBA restarted by watching movies about Thompson and other greats.

“Klay Thompson, Ray Allen, CJ McCollum, Steve Nash and Bradley Beal are the guys I’ve seen, choosing different things from each player,” Herro recently told reporters, through South Florida’s Ira Winderman, Sun Sentinel.

Herro, 20, averages 12.9 points per game for Heat while shooting an impressive 39.1 percent from a distance of 3 points. As a novice, Thompson has shot 41.4 percent from the deep and has a career of 41.9 percent from beyond the arc. They don’t make many like Klay.

Miami’s young select shooter is also studying a specific part of Thompson’s game.

“You know, Klay and Ray, they do the shooting very well,” said Herro. “This is the thing I pay attention to when I watch them. But every player I watch, or the coaches make me watch, I can dissect something new or something different from their game to try and add it to mine.”

Rested, healthy and full of knowledge for hours watching movies, we will soon be able to see what exactly Herro has collected from Thompson other great shooters.
