"Spo must figure out where Larsson stands amongst the rest of the Heat's rotation. Even after his strong summer, I wouldn't argue that Larsson deserves a starting spot, but there's no question he should be in the rotation. Or at least get a shot to lock up such a role heading into training camp. I'd be hard-pressed to see Larsson not get a fair shake from Spo after the offseason he just put together."
"In helping lead Sweden, unexpectedly, to the knockout round in the EuroBasket Tournament, Larsson would go on to average 19 points, four rebounds, and three assists per game on 46 percent shooting from the field over the course of five total games. Pelle Larsson deserves a spot in the rotation But it wasn't just the overall production that should have Heat fans excited about his sophomore season; it was the other intangibles that jumped off the screen for Larsson."
"After a pretty solid rookie season in the NBA, those were two areas where Larsson needed to improve the most. At least during the summer, there are signs that Larsson understood the objective and did what he could do calm those concerns about his future. Sure, Larsson was still a little less efficient from 3-point range in both the summer league and in EuroBasket, but the hope is that he will continue to improve with time."
Pelle Larsson delivered an impressive summer across NBA Summer League and EuroBasket, averaging 19 points, four rebounds and three assists per game on 46 percent shooting across five EuroBasket games. He helped Sweden reach the knockout round unexpectedly and showed increased aggression and confidence after his rookie season. Larsson remains less efficient from three, but summer performance suggests growth in areas that needed improvement. Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra must decide Larsson's place in the 2025-26 rotation, likely evaluating him as an energy player off the bench during training camp and preseason opportunities.
