The 2024-25 Miami Heat season was difficult, marking one of their worst in years. Rookie Pelle Larsson, selected No. 44 overall, had a challenging yet promising debut, impressing with his defense and showing potential in limited minutes. He struggled with long-range shooting, ending with a 33.7% three-point average, but ranked respectably in catch-and-shoot scenarios. His aggressive play style led to foul issues, with high foul rates that must be addressed for regular rotation. Coach Spoelstra's early faith in Larsson's abilities indicates optimism for his future role in the team.
Larsson's 3-point percentage was shakier than expected, but he ranked 11th among 36 rookies in catch-and-shoot 3-point performance at 35.8%.
Despite inconsistency in playing time, Larsson was recognized as one of the Heat's top two-way guards and point-of-attack defenders.
