He's a bit odd, seems marketed as a shooter but shot under 3 attempts a game in college. He's okay about everywhere on the floor but not really great at anything. If he can get the volume of 3s up and maintain his averages he could be good player.
i can't tell if "blown by faster players" is a typo and you misunderstood the guy's comment above you or if it's not a typo and you did understand his joke and made another insanely good one
Something I always enjoy doing whenever we pick guys with tons of college experience (such as with Josh Richardson) is searching their name in r/Collegebasketball. [There's a post from his transfer to the Wildcats a few years back.](https://old.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/n8hyvf/247sports_utah_transfer_pelle_larsson_commits_to/) He played pro ball in Europe.
He was underwhelming in key moments. Has all the tools but lacks some basketball IQ at time. Costly turnovers time and again. But if Miami sees something in him they can mold him. Love that he and Keshad landed with Miami. I personally think Keshad Johnson is far better than Larson and he went undrafted. Steal for Miami !
Bulls fan coming in peace! Iām always going to be rooting for Pelle, so Iāll be lurking in this sub from now on.
Been fortunate enough to follow his career since high school and heās a great dude and a hard worker. I think heās going to fit in well with you guys.
Just curious how you came to follow him since high school? Also I hope youāre ready to experience the most bipolar group of nephews in basketball fandom in this sub.
Arizona fan here. Great to see Pelle land with the Heat. He is a great role player. He'll never be more than that but he does a lot of things well. He can make 3s and is a very good cutter off the ball. He likes to pass sometimes too much but he is very smart and never takes bad shots or gives you bad possessions. He tries very hard on defense and plays with physicality well. If you go back 2 seasons ago he did a fantastic job guarding Jamie Jaquez at UCLA in Arizona 2 out of 3 wins against UCLA.
Not a heat fan but big AZ wildcats fan. Heās a great 3 point shooter. The problem is he doesnāt take enough shots. He was extremely physical this year too, youāre getting a dog
Spo is the goat at instilling confidence into shooters, can be a gift and a curse sometimes tho Iāll never forget the Kelly O 0-10 games as much as I actually like Kelly š
I saw him play proffessionally in Sweden as a highschooler. He is insanly athletic, and was a great defender. His only weakness was outside shooting and he has worked hard and turned himself into a 40% 3pt shooter in college. Mostly a spot up shooter but still solid. I think he will fit nicely on the Heat.
His player comparison should be Christian Braun in Denver. They basically look the same, play the same and have the same size/frame.
Potentially dumb question - why didn't Atlanta draft him then? What's the difference between trading then drafting vs drafting then trading? Is it just a timing thing, like the deal wasn't finalized?
Surprised to see no Christian Braun comparisons here. I think heās exactly like Braun. Iām a U of A fan and their games are identical in my eyes. Pelle might have a big more dog in him though, although I will say is he tended to shrink in bigger games. I think the Heat will be a great landing spot for both him and Keshad, who going undrafted is in my eyes criminal.
Iām not being funny or trolling this is literally Duncan Robison with athleticism. We donāt need shooters. This lets me know Pat Riley is cooking up something. Duncan or Herro could be in a potential trade package. I literally have no clue why we would make this trade especially since we lack wings if Caleb or Haywood donāt resignā¦ what you guys think?
We absolutely fucking need shooters, tf?
As far as wings could finally see Cain actually on the roster, who knows. Larsson is technically a Wing but he isnāt filling those same roles
It's actually a huge weakness at the moment. As a team, we're fairly efficient, but we lack volume and consistency because we only have 3 notable shooters.
What are you even talking about?!!! We have Herro , Duncan , and we drafted the other guy last year who didnāt work out like we wanted. This guy wonāt see any lick of playing time NO TIME soon. Also hes undersized at the wing in the NBA today. Heās only 6ā4 thatās average point guard height. Wings in the NBA are at least 6ā6/6ā7. No way you make this trade unless you think one of your shooters is gone. Plus Jamie might turn into a 3 point corner 3D player one day. Stop it
You need more than 2 somewhat reliable shooters on a roster, especially when neither of your star players are reliable shooters (though at least Jimmy is getting some of his 3 back). And itās a 2nd round pick, most of these guys arenāt seeing the league. Shit plenty of 1st rounders arenāt seeing the league in their first year.
No idea where youāre getting 6ā4ā since heās listed as 6ā6ā in the draft. And shooting was one of our biggest weaknesses this past season.
A second round pick has zero impact on what Riley is going to do this summer.
Heāll be an end of the bench guy this year who gets some injury/garbage minutes. Maybe he can earn a consistent rotation spot in the future but it wonāt be this year
Mf, we need all the consistent shooting we can get. Plus he has good size and can playmake. Why are you pressed? This adds to our depth and he can probably contribute right away.
The best shot we had at winning a championship was drafting Bronny and having Lebron come over. But seriously why are all these teams passing on him? The chance of Lebron coming over makes drafting Bronny 100x more valuable than all the bums being drafted today
Sam Vecenie was hilarious talking about some team told Rich Paul that made it more likely they'd draft him, if they could do it while stashing him in Australia to develop for a year or two.
Not who you asked, and I wonāt say I know more than the FO
But I wanted Justin Edwards, his ceiling is way higher
Edit: Bruh, I am not the guy that said Riley was washed lol
Thereās no one at 44 whoās gonna come in and be a difference maker.
Edwards is a top tier athlete that had a really disappointing year at Kentucky but he was a top 5 recruit.
I trust in Spo to get the most out of guys, and Edwards has more talent and upside than anyone available.
Itās a crap shoot at this point anyways, might as well go for the big swing.
Like I said, I donāt claim to know more than the FO, but Edwards is who I wanted.
Mf got drafted during a hidden valley ranch commercial š¤£bros gonna be solid fs
On his villan arc before the season even starts š
Itās time to ranch it up!
Legalize ranch!
Ranch it up brotendo
Whatās his stance on horses?
I watched the whole draft and his name was only mentioned once. They didnāt even talk about him.
Eh thatās how most of the 2nd round was the closer it got to the Bronny pick
Nah it was different with him. Everyone else at least got a few seconds with film footage and shit. Pelle only got his name called once. Thatās it.
In 3 years in a random ECF game heās gonna drop 45
Better be against the celtics
No I donāt want Celtics to make ECF
Unless we win it wonāt matter š
Itāll be against the Heat lol
A heat game against the heat

He is a senior out of Arizona. 6'5" and 23-years old. **Arizona Senior Stats:** 12.8PPG, 4.1RPG, 3.7APG, 0.9SPG, .519 FG% / .426 3PT% / .750 FT%
So future MVP obviously! /s
3x Regular SZN 1x FMVP
Swap those š
Fine. Ware can have the RS MVPs then
And he's 70% at the rim at 6'5?? Wow
he can shoot thank god
Seems pretty solid, why did he fall this far? Unathletic, just too old?
He's a bit odd, seems marketed as a shooter but shot under 3 attempts a game in college. He's okay about everywhere on the floor but not really great at anything. If he can get the volume of 3s up and maintain his averages he could be good player.
13 ppg as a 23 year old senior without good physical tools, honestly more surprising he went this high
I watched this shitty ass ESPN draft presentation just for him to get picked during commercials. Fuck this
I thought the whole point of a 2-day draft was no more picks during commercials.
Let Riley cook!
I wonder if the Atlanta trade up was a precursor for a deal later?
Maybe, maybe not but at the very least it was building a connection since Atlantaās FO is kinda new.
Everyone seems to hate the pick so I fully expect to retire Larsonās jersey one day
mostly because people dont know him. Hes a great pick and just very generically 'Heat' guy
AS A TOTALLY OBJECTIVE SWEDISH HEAT FAN, PAT DRAFTS FUTURE HALL OF FAMER PELLE LARSSON
This is the only opinion I need
Most Swedish sounding name as well. People gonna think the only reason Iām a Heat fan is because of Pelle motherfucking Larsson
Duncan 2.0 with solid D, we're here.
>solid d 
Duncan has a solid d take my word for it
Duncan gets blown by faster players. His speed is not good but he has a lot of finesse to his play
i can't tell if "blown by faster players" is a typo and you misunderstood the guy's comment above you or if it's not a typo and you did understand his joke and made another insanely good one
The slower players aren't quick enough. It's like a race.
I think he meant something else 
I loved watching him in college. Admittedly, I'm more versed in college ball than NBA. What do we think about his transition?

[There's a post from his transfer to the Wildcats a few years back.](https://old.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/n8hyvf/247sports_utah_transfer_pelle_larsson_commits_to/) He played pro ball in Europe.
Great idea!
Soā¦what did you think of his college days?
He was underwhelming in key moments. Has all the tools but lacks some basketball IQ at time. Costly turnovers time and again. But if Miami sees something in him they can mold him. Love that he and Keshad landed with Miami. I personally think Keshad Johnson is far better than Larson and he went undrafted. Steal for Miami !
I thought he was great. That Arizona team was fun to watch.
I think they, including myself, wanted know more what exactly makes him āgreatā in your opinion
Bulls fan coming in peace! Iām always going to be rooting for Pelle, so Iāll be lurking in this sub from now on. Been fortunate enough to follow his career since high school and heās a great dude and a hard worker. I think heās going to fit in well with you guys.
Just curious how you came to follow him since high school? Also I hope youāre ready to experience the most bipolar group of nephews in basketball fandom in this sub.
I live in Sweden and follow the Swedish pro league, and he played for one of the pro teams his final year of HS. And that sounds like fun!
Arizona fan here. Great to see Pelle land with the Heat. He is a great role player. He'll never be more than that but he does a lot of things well. He can make 3s and is a very good cutter off the ball. He likes to pass sometimes too much but he is very smart and never takes bad shots or gives you bad possessions. He tries very hard on defense and plays with physicality well. If you go back 2 seasons ago he did a fantastic job guarding Jamie Jaquez at UCLA in Arizona 2 out of 3 wins against UCLA.
I wonder what Jamie Jacquez's reaction to Miami Heat's pick of Pelle Larson.
He probably helped inform it tbf
Have no idea who bro is, can he shoot?
Not a heat fan but big AZ wildcats fan. Heās a great 3 point shooter. The problem is he doesnāt take enough shots. He was extremely physical this year too, youāre getting a dog
Sounds like a Heat guy lol theyāll get him shooting and staying physical
Spo is the goat at instilling confidence into shooters, can be a gift and a curse sometimes tho Iāll never forget the Kelly O 0-10 games as much as I actually like Kelly š
Better than max and Gabe 2/22 games
Tune into summer league. Spo will likely force him to chuck it
Seems to be his skill, 40% college 3ās nearly each year
we basically just replaced strus
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I saw him play proffessionally in Sweden as a highschooler. He is insanly athletic, and was a great defender. His only weakness was outside shooting and he has worked hard and turned himself into a 40% 3pt shooter in college. Mostly a spot up shooter but still solid. I think he will fit nicely on the Heat. His player comparison should be Christian Braun in Denver. They basically look the same, play the same and have the same size/frame.
Anyone know why the hawks and heat swapped picks? Especially since it was before either played was selected
cash
Ayy Iām from Sweden too šøšŖ
https://i.redd.it/3byebefv479d1.gif
Pat what have you done
White shooter whoās actually athletic
So heās like Max Strus? Or a step above athletically?
better shooting strus
And the guy was the playmaker for a 1 seed. That will go a long way in lineups.
An actually efficient Strus would be game changing
And can defend
Perhaps sneakily so
I don't care we just traded away a Balkan player
for a swede!
Why are you guys so obsessed with balkans
Idk about the others but I'm a bulgarian citizen lol
oh ok
Plays like boy wonder. Not sure if heās as good scoring wise but weāll see
Why do all the official boards say we drafted Djurisic?
We drafted him for Atlanta as part of a trade back
Potentially dumb question - why didn't Atlanta draft him then? What's the difference between trading then drafting vs drafting then trading? Is it just a timing thing, like the deal wasn't finalized?
Cook
U of A fan here, I love Larson -- even have his jersey. Hope he balls tf out for you all.
Did we just trade him?
Uofa grad here. You guys got a steal
Proposed nickname of course should be Pelle Pelle. And there should be a bunch of fans who go to the games wearing the Pelle Pelle jacket.
Surprised to see no Christian Braun comparisons here. I think heās exactly like Braun. Iām a U of A fan and their games are identical in my eyes. Pelle might have a big more dog in him though, although I will say is he tended to shrink in bigger games. I think the Heat will be a great landing spot for both him and Keshad, who going undrafted is in my eyes criminal.
Where was Bronny at? Get bron for the vet min
Great spelling, OP...
We can get Tyler up out of here now and get some better pieces
Was hyped for the Serbian but I will accept this shooter.
I'm not the biggest fan of either of our picks this year but what do I know
Tyler herro replacement now move herro
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
š¤”
more like strus
Wouldnāt that be awful if we drafted a borderline all star in the 2nd
Iām not being funny or trolling this is literally Duncan Robison with athleticism. We donāt need shooters. This lets me know Pat Riley is cooking up something. Duncan or Herro could be in a potential trade package. I literally have no clue why we would make this trade especially since we lack wings if Caleb or Haywood donāt resignā¦ what you guys think?
Caleb gonna walk leaving us with Herro and Duncan as shooters, we absolutely need shooters
Caleb isnāt a shooter. Hes a scorer which is a big difference. This guy is undersized as well. Please stopā¦.
We absolutely fucking need shooters, tf? As far as wings could finally see Cain actually on the roster, who knows. Larsson is technically a Wing but he isnāt filling those same roles

Rich Paul is calling teams saying if they draft Bronny heās going to Australia instead. Seems like heās set for the lakers.
Sam Vecenie was hilarious talking about some team told Rich Paul that made it more likely they'd draft him, if they could do it while stashing him in Australia to develop for a year or two.
I'm not sure if this is true but heard teams were told to not draft him from Rich Paul
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Please tell me who you wanted at Pick #43 of the 2nd Round bro.
Just be talking š
Nikola Jokic would be nice
Not who you asked, and I wonāt say I know more than the FO But I wanted Justin Edwards, his ceiling is way higher Edit: Bruh, I am not the guy that said Riley was washed lol
Yea this ain't the right move
Thereās no one at 44 whoās gonna come in and be a difference maker. Edwards is a top tier athlete that had a really disappointing year at Kentucky but he was a top 5 recruit. I trust in Spo to get the most out of guys, and Edwards has more talent and upside than anyone available. Itās a crap shoot at this point anyways, might as well go for the big swing. Like I said, I donāt claim to know more than the FO, but Edwards is who I wanted.
He went undrafted
Time to snag, Riley the goat
76ers signed him
F lol
Yup exactly
Jamal Shead, Djurisic, Edwards, Newton
