The Heat’s young guard thought he was a goner this summer. "I damn near had my s— packed up," he said. But with Damian Lillard now in Milwaukee, and Herro still in Miami, he’s trying to put a summer of endless rumors behind him.
Herro is a good defensive rebounder for his position. He also has a solid frame and is 6’5”. So even if his shorter arms limit his defensive plays and his slower feet make him a target on defense, he still contributes to a defense in some valuable ways.
To your point, Herro has already improved on perimeter defense. He injured himself last playoffs going for a lose ball he had deflected. He will often be the worst defender the Heat put on the floor so he will be attacked regardless of how much he improves
