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 has played three games and seems to keep getting better with each game. In his most recent game on Monday, Larsson scored 28 points off 10/20 shooting and got to the free-throw line six times. As we have highlighted from his Summer League play, Larsson's ability to get to the line all summer could be a major boost for a Heat team that was near the bottom of the league in free-throw attempts in 2024-25.
