Yea plyos help. But also, sometimes you feel your legs are heavy maybe just because they are tired or sore. So remember to rest after you work out.

In order to gain true explosiveness (speed and vertical) you must train your posterior chain. That is the back side of your body. Calves, hamstrings, glutes, and lower back especially. The best way to do that is with squat variations and deadlift variations. After you build up some strength, then do plyos.

maybe u also arent very flexible? try strecthing and plyometrics, also u shuld do some strength workouts...

I done plyometrics for once, and I feel the explosiveness. But there's not much strength in my legs. Plyo are definitely for explosiveness. After you finish training you should feel very light.
