"Even after a pretty solid rookie season in which he averaged five points on 44 percent shooting from the field in 55 games played for the Heat, Larsson entered the offseason with something to prove. He impressed during his time with the Heat's summer league team and then quickly carried that momentum into a strong showing with Team Sweden in the EuroBasket Tournament."
"Pelle Larsson will be battling for a spot in the rotation Even after the Tyler Herro injury, it's far from a foregone conclusion that Larsson will have an immediate spot in the rotation for the Heat. He'll be battling against the likes of Terry Rozier, Dru Smith (when he's healthy), and Simone Fontecchio for minutes. And that's beyond the established rotation players of Jaime Jaquez Jr., Davion Mitchell, and Norman Powell."
"Like my rookie year no expectations...just try to earn everything from the start ground up...coming in with no expectations really, just try to earn everything again."
Pelle Larsson seeks to build on a strong summer while acknowledging that nothing will be given and everything must be earned. He averaged five points on 44 percent shooting in 55 games as a rookie and entered the offseason motivated to improve. Larsson impressed in Heat summer league and carried momentum into a strong showing with Team Sweden at EuroBasket. He deserves a larger role but recognizes he must continue to prove himself. The Tyler Herro injury does not guarantee immediate rotation minutes amid competition from Rozier, Dru Smith, Simone Fontecchio, Jaquez Jr., Davion Mitchell, and Norman Powell under coach Erik Spoelstra.
