"Not only is Herro coming off a career year in which he made the All-Star Game, but he's the team's leading scorer, and paced them in assists as well. Miami's offense was already at a disadvantage with him. It has no top-tier creator. Herro is their best passer, which is a testament to his evolution, and also not ideal. Without him, the Heat's offense could be subject to complete and utter implosion."
"Larsson checks more of those boxes. Despite a dearth of explosion, he attacks at a varying cadence that allows him to get past or go through defenders. Give him a ball screen, don't give him a ball screen-it doesn't matter. His outside shooting is dicey, and the 67.2 percent clip he posted at the foul line as a rookie doesn't engender much confidence. But he showed flashes of knocking down more spot-up jumpers during Miami's first-round loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers."
Tyler Herro will miss about two months after left ankle surgery, removing Miami's leading scorer and most consistent perimeter creator. The Heat lack a top-tier on-ball creator, leaving their offense vulnerable early in the season. Norman Powell and Bam Adebayo provide scoring and versatility but do not fill the conventional perimeter playmaking vacancy. Pelle Larsson projects to see his importance surge, given his ability to attack at varied cadences and navigate ball screens. Larsson's outside shooting and subpar rookie free-throw rate raise concerns, but flashes of improved spot-up shooting offer hope for offensive stability.
