Arizona Wildcats: Pelle Larsson Continues to Stack Impressive Performances

The Wildcats' senior guard is making a claim as a potential selection in the 2024 NBA Draft, piling on solid outings week after week.

Pelle Larsson's growing body of work has continued to bolster himself as a potential 2024 NBA Draft selection, as his distribution and shot-making has helped identify a possible role he could fit in the association. 

On a team with the likes of other potential prospects in Kylan Boswell, KJ Lewis and Keshad Johnson, the 22-year-old Swedish guard is prospering in his role for the 21-6, fourth-ranked Wildcats.

Versus the Washington Huskies on Saturday night, Larsson generated 17 points to help pace Arizona as the team's second-leading scorer behind Caleb Love's 28. In 33 minutes, Larsson shot 63.6% on those 17 points while producing five boards and seven assists along with a steal.

His productivity and presence was immense in the Wildcats' 16-point win, as he steadily reveals his versatility as a scorer beyond just a shooting threat. 

Three weeks prior, Larsson had strung together three 15-plus point scoring performances in the midst of a six-game winning streak for Arizona, doing so with efficiency and adding his typical one-to-two conversions from beyond the arc. 17, a career-high 27 and 18 on an average of 65% from the field, his ability to pick his shots intelligently and convert them at a high rate is a valuable trait within itself. 

In those three games, Larsson also averaged just over four assists and one and a half 3-pointers.

With his measurables, standing at 6-foot-6, 215 pounds, the senior guard certainly fits the mold of an NBA wing archetype that can benefit from his notable positional size, but his spot-up shooting proficiency and playmaking ability is largely what his NBA development will hinge on.
