2025-26 Miami Heat Player Review: Pelle Larsson
"In 2025-26, Larsson averaged career highs in essentially every statistical category, starting in 54 of the team's 70 games as a result of Tyler Herro's health."
"Larsson was still very physical at the point-of-attack, but he trimmed down the fouls by two per 75, averaging just 2.8, the sixth-fewest on the team."
"The 6-foot-5 guard converted rim attempts at a 70.3 percent clip, ranking in the 75th percentile of all wings and the second-best mark on the team."
"Larsson's face may be made of steel, but he should probably wear a mask moving forward - for good reason."
