Kel\u2019el Ware, drafted at No. 15 in the 2024 NBA Draft, was one of the more talked-about rookies over the summer.<\/p>\n

A 7-footer with a mile-high ceiling on both ends of the floor, his profile already lends itself to the eyeballs of scouts, decision-makers and fans. But his production over the summer and in preseason helped turn heads, too.<\/p>\n

It started with Summer League, where Ware posted 17.4 points on near-60% shooting, adding 8.0 rebounds and 1.6 blocks. He propelled Miami to the Summer League title, decimating rim attempts and scoring on his own with a mix of length and athleticism.<\/p>\n

But it didn\u2019t stop there. In his preseason opener, he picked up where he left off, scoring another 13 points in 17 minutes on over 50% shooting, securing five rebounds, two steals, one assist and an aggressive four blocks. The former Oregon Duck turned Indiana Hoosier tacked on a few more decent preseason performances, albeit in limited minutes.<\/p>\n

Now, he\u2019s scarcely touched the floor for the 2-2 Miami Heat.<\/p>\n

He saw a measly six minutes in Game 1, still managing to help the team to a +13 in that time span, and hasn\u2019t been with the team or received DNP\u2019s in the other three contests.<\/p>\n

With the team in desperate need of an energy infusion, the spry Ware could be a solid play at center, even in reserve. Center Bam Adebayo has yet to find his groove, and playing alongside a 7-footer in Ware could allow him to find a rhythm as a weak-side shot-blocker.<\/p>\n

Regardless, the Heat could likely stand to throw minutes to its talented rookie in some capacity.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
