Larsson has an all-around skill set that should be intriguing for fantasy purposes. However, the second-round pick proved to be an inefficient scorer as a rookie. He showed improvements during Summer League, but his role in Year 2 remains unclear. With the Jimmy Butler era over, Miami will be looking for a new identity in 2025-26. Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, Kel'el Ware and Andrew Wiggins all return to starting roles, while newcomer Norman Powell will likely take the fifth spot. That leaves Larsson to compete for playing time with Terry Rozier, Davion Mitchell, Kasparas Jakucionis, Jaime Jaquez, Simone Fontecchio and Keshad Johnson. While Larsson has potential, the Heat may not prioritize developmental minutes until later in the season. However, he may begin the season as part of the Opening Night rotation, considering Herro is unlikely to be available until around mid-November due to offseason foot surgery. Larsson still doesn't need to be drafted, but fantasy managers should monitor him early on and throughout the campaign. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary
Larsson played four years at the college level, spending his freshman year with Utah and the subsequent three campaigns with Arizona. Larsson started in 18 of his 25 appearances as a freshman for the Utes, averaging 8.2 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists per contest. He moved to Arizona as a sophomore, but his tenure with the Wildcats didn't begin well, as Larsson started in just two of his 37 appearances while logging a career-low 20.7 minutes per game. Larsson started 18 times in his junior year and experienced a statistical uptick across the board, but he would break out for good in his senior year. Larsson started in each of his 36 appearances with the Wildcats in 2023-24, averaging 12.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game while shooting an impressive 51.9% from the field and an elite 42.6% from beyond the arc. Larsson was named to the 2023-24 All-Pac 12 Second Team, a year in which he also finished sixth in assists per game. A 6-foot-5 guard with a strong frame, Larsson already looks the part of an NBA player who should be capable of holding his own on the defensive end. However, his biggest asset lies on offense, as he's emerged as a reliable shooter, both in catch-and-shoot and off-ball situations. Due to his athleticism and strong frame, he's a threat when finishing at the rim, but there's a strong chance his offensive game at the next level will rely primarily on his shooting ability. Larsson can also thrive in pick-and-roll situations, particularly as the ball-handler due to his excellent vision. Larsson can potentially fulfill the role of a secondary ball-handler at the NBA level, though he'd thrive even more as a catch-and-shoot alternative with enough athleticism to attack the rim if given enough space. Defensively, he should be ready to make an impact at the next level since he's a shooting guard with the build of a small forward, though he doesn't profile to be a difference-making presence on that end of the floor. Larsson's mold can be found often in the NBA right now. He's a versatile guard who can defend multiple positions while emerging as a reliable catch-and-shoot threat, with the possibility of an even more significant role on offense if his game keeps developing. That should warrant a long career in The Association, as teams all over the league have the need for a competent wing who can make his presence felt on both ends of the court.
ANALYSIS Larsson was unable to shake his questionable tag for this contest, but he can be considered day-to-day going forward. With the Heat thin on the wings Saturday, Jaime Jaquez could be set for an extended workload.

ANALYSIS "He's owned these minutes," Spoelstra said. "He makes you play him, because he does so many of the intangible things. He really elevates the units that he plays in, just with energy, his toughness, winning plays, all that." Larsson has won a starting spot in Miami, producing averages of 12.1 points, 3.6 assists and 3.4 rebounds in an eight-game sample size. During that stretch, he also shot an uber-efficient 58.1 percent from the field.
