After averaging 15.9 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game under coach Mike Woodson at Indiana, center Kel'el Ware was selected No. 15 overall by the Miami Heat in the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Heat selected Ware with the No. 15 overall pick in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft on Wednesday night.
Indiana coach Mike Woodson has now produced three NBA draft picks ahead of his fourth season coaching the Hoosiers: Ware, Jalen Hood-Schifino and Trayce Jackson-Davis . Ware most often scored around the rim, whether it was alley-oop dunks off pick-and-rolls or using his long wingspan to shoot over defenders with soft touch. He led the Big Ten in defensive rebounding percentage, and he finished sixth in blocks. With a developing 3-point stroke – he shot 42.5% on 40 attempts at Indiana – Ware, just 20 years old, has high upside.
