Tyler Herro is not a good shooter

IU fan here.
Herro is a good shooter, but much like Romeo Langford, they are both not the shooters from deep we thought they'd be.
I'm sure both will improve plenty though.

Indeed, And whenever Herro has one good game, those people act like he's an all american and certain one and done.
It's been funny to watch, the guy can have a stretch where he'll have 4 bad games and 1 good game, and seems the only thing many here can remember from that stretch is the one good game, it's like the other games are erased from their memory banks.

Last week he was mostly guarded by Cunningham, 6’ grad transfer from Samford, that other college in Alabama.No, his stats last week were incredible. He has had good numbers in only ONE game. ONE.
Today, he was
Is Herro REALLY expected to be a one-and-done?
Srsly?
Srsly?
Many on here are ready to retire his number and hang his jersey in the rafters...
There are people on this board who think he's a guaranteed one and done lock. Hell, there were posts just this week saying that.
I wouldnt care if hes back next year to continue to work on it.
No one right now is particularly good at anything on either end of the floor save Hagans on ball defending
Beg to differ...Keldon can score on anyone and is shooting the bell better than anyone else on the team. If anything, we need to get the ball to him more often and he needs to be encouraged to continue shooting.
Easily the best player. Bad fouls tend to hurt his ability to stay on the floor.
Herro literally hit a tough three to keep us in it but I guess his stones shrunk when the clock went further down?
Buddy, I go back to the numbers...Keldon is a much better shooter than Herro. Deferring to Herro is killing us when he is having his typical game.
Keldon should be encouraged to shoot more.
I didn’t say anything about that buddy. You can’t refute that so you use that argument .
Great Herro hit a tough shot. He also had a terrible day shooting. Maybe if Herro passed the ball to Keldon, he would have made an easier 3.
Statistically speaking, Keldon should be shooting the ball more than Herro. That is not happening and it is not helping us at all.
There was four seconds left, tell me where Johnson was and what Herro should have done different .
Honestly, I did not see a replay so not sure where Keldon was.
With that said, we have had two end of game situations. Keldon his a half court shot to send us into OT against SH and today.
I am not against Keldon getting a shot but he wasn’t the one who got the ball today. The half court shot was great but the odds of him doing that ever again are slim.
He’s not taking good shots is the issue. Not driving enough either so he doesn’t keep the d honest
Well, it's not like he's just talking about the half court shot. Instead, all season Keldon has shot far better than Herro from EVERYWHERE--from threes, from twos, from inside and outside. The percentages don't lie.
So, yeah, it does seem odd how Herro has forked up more shot attempts this season than Keldon, and continues to do so despite the clear evidence that KJ's the better shooter.
If you wanna talk about a "tweak" Cal could make with this team--it's THAT. Maybe it's time for Herro to be a bit less of a gunner so that KJ can get more shots. I think it's rather odd that KJ does not lead this team in shot attempts given that he clearly has been our best scorer.

So you are admitting you were wrong when you said:
"When our starting 2 guard is the worst shooter in the game, we are not going to win many games."
Tyler has a beautiful stroke, he just has to much motion on the jump. Once he calms down and goes straight up with more regularity he'll shoot a really good percentage.
Hero is by far the best passer on the team. When Cal wants him to quit shooting he will be sitting next to Cal on the bench. It's a team game, I haven't seen the first half ;yet, but as far as the second half went if our bigs had been able to score from two foot we would have won easily. If we have someone who outplays Tyler they will be in his spot simple as that. Sounded to me listening on the radio that we let another shooter open to get hot and then couldn't cool him off. I really think listening to Cal that we went back into old habits and went under screens instead of over them. When you are on the road in the SEC you can't play defense like it's optional.
because most are sunshine pumpers living in la la land of make believe hosted by Mr. Rogers.
No. Just not. Put the crack pipe down. Herro is not the best player on the team. Please stop.
You're not a good poster. 4696 posts in enough of a sample. See how easy that was?
THIS.
He will have down games like today when his shot isn’t there. It happens. But he will also have Louisville type games. He is streaky. Some of y’all will claim he needs to sit the bench after games like today and those same people will claim he is 1st round material in next years draft the next time he goes for 25+. Some people need to r-e-l-a-x.
The worst thing about a bad shooting night for Herro is that it brings out the worst posters too. Headcases.
I can’t argue with you. His shot has been off more than he has been on. But he is 13 games into his collegiate career. He is learning and he is having to do that in a hurry.
We know the shooter he can be. The season is much longer than 13 games. As long as he keeps finding ways to impact the game, as he is, I’m willing to hold judgement until March. I believe his shot will improve as the season goes on.
What is it with you and Mr. Rogers? I've seen his name mentioned in several of your posts. Very strange.
