Big-body rim protector with SEC starting experience
Herard’s value is his physical interior presence: in the 2016-17 season at Mississippi State, he appeared in all 32 games, made 19 starts, and produced 11 points, 23 rebounds, and 8 blocks in 88 minutes, flashing a strong rebound-and-protect-the-rim profile for a freshman center[1]. He also posted two double-doubles, including a 12-point, 15-rebound game against Tennessee, and had a season-high 6 blocks against Florida A&M, which points to disruptive paint defense when he is locked in[1].
