"Larsson has had an exceptional offseason that began with a strong showing in the NBA's Summer League. Somehow, Larsson managed to raise the bar for himself with an even more impressive performance over five games in the EuroBasket Tournament with Team Sweden. Larsson would go on to lead them into the knockout round, which is rare for Sweden, while averaging 19 points, four rebounds, and three assists on 46 percent shooting from the field overall."
"But, ultimately, despite his strong summer, that will likely be decided by what he's able to continue showing during training camp. It's one thing for Larsson to look impressive during the summer, against, with all due respect, "lesser competition." It's an entirely different thing for Larsson to prove his worth in training camp in pre-season. You'd have to imagine that's going to be the next goal for Larsson. Should he excel in training camp and in pre-season, that's when we can start seriously placing him ahead of a few other veterans in the Heat's rotation."
Pelle Larsson produced an exceptional offseason, performing well in the NBA Summer League and raising his standard with a strong EuroBasket showing for Team Sweden. He averaged 19 points, four rebounds, and three assists while leading Sweden into a rare knockout round appearance and shooting 46 percent from the field. Those results position him for an opportunity to join the Heat's everyday rotation. The decisive next step is demonstrating the same impact during training camp and preseason against tougher competition. Several established veterans are currently ahead of him, leaving Larsson to compete with multiple players for a few rotation spots.
