It seems as if each of the weekly power rankings features Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro near the top of the list. The truth is that Herro has been too sensational to not receive the number one spot again.

As the Miami Heat (13-9) continue to be one of the strongest teams in the Eastern Conference, Herro has been a dominant force with his play off the bench. Herro has quickly become one of the most dangerous bench assets in the league.

The sharpshooting guard has the ability to come into the game and take over with his outstanding range and ability to score in bunches. Herro has been off to a strong start, and it looks as if he's showing no signs of slowing down. In his last week, Herro averaged 23.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game while shooting 42.1% from 3-point range.
