"When he's been on the floor this season, the Heat have been better. In games that Larsson has suited up for the Heat, Miami is 18-10. When he doesn't play, the Heat are just 2-6. Sure, that doesn't all fall on Larsson's shoulders, but there is clear evidence that he's been better than just a positive player for the Heat. When he's on the floor, he injects the Heat's lineup with energy, effort, and efficient production."
"In what could also be categorized as a breakout season, Larsson is averaging 10 points, three rebounds, and three assists on 47 percent shooting from the field and 36 percent shooting from 3-point range. But it's not just the counting stats where you see the impact from Larsson on the floor. And that's what makes him so valuable for the Heat. It's the intangibles that make his such a key part of what the Heat looks to do every night."
"And that's only the case even more so in the Heat's new offense. In a system that is predicated on movement, off-ball activity, and effort on the fast break, Larsson is almost the perfect fit for Erik Spoelstra. His improved 3-point shot and underrated playmaking ability only make him more of an everyday weapon for the Heat."
Pelle Larsson has become a meaningful contributor for the Miami Heat, with the team 18-10 in games he plays and 2-6 when he does not. He averages 10 points, three rebounds, and three assists while shooting 47 percent from the field and 36 percent from three. Larsson supplies energy, effort, off-ball activity, and efficient production that complement the team's movement-based offense. His improved three-point shooting and playmaking broaden the Heat's lineup options and fit Erik Spoelstra's system. Larsson functions as a versatile Swiss-Army knife whether starting or coming off the bench, providing intangibles that lift team performance beyond raw stats.
