"Larsson has started 11 of Miami's first 14 games this season, and has been getting on the floor consistently, averaging 21.8 minutes per game. As of this writing, the Heat have a record of 5-2 when Larsson scores 10 or more points, as well as just a 3-4 record when he fails to hit double digits. This is a clear indicator that his production is correlating with the team's success."
"Heat fans have been thrilled to see Larsson provide big value as an offensive connector as well as a defensive stalwart that hustles his tail off. For the first three games of the season, Pelle only played a combined 17 minutes. Since then there hasn't been a game that he hasn't hit at least 24 minutes. In classic Miami Heat style, it was the hustle and energy he brought to the floor that made Erik Spoelstra unable to continue sitting him."
"On the defensive side of things, Larsson has used his frame very effectively, making the right reads and playing with high energy. He fits in perfectly on a roster and in a system designed for switchable defenders who compete every single possession. On offense, Pelle is putting up very impressive shooting splits of 53.8% from the floor, 38.6% from three point range, and 80.6% from the free throw line, averaging 10.1 points per night."
