The Miami Heat may have secured their long-term frontcourt in this year’s NBA Draft.
When the Miami Heat selected Kel’el Ware with the 15th overall pick in June’s NBA Draft, they acquired a highly-talented big man. For a dwindling squad grasping onto a longshot title dream, Ware brings hope past the prime of aging star Jimmy Butler. He mixes his 7-foot frame with impressive mobility and an advanced scoring package to boast immense upside.
Miami has searched for the right four to place alongside star big man Bam Adebayo for years now. The perennial all-defensive team member can shift between both big man positions, thriving as a versatile weapon on both ends of the ball. On defense, he’s the NBA’s best switch big with both his graceful perimeter guarding and strong interior defending. On offense, he’s one of the league’s best high post passing hubs, and can get buckets with skill both near the cup and in the mid-range.
But, Ware brings hope. He has the size and athleticism to protect the rim alongside Adebayo, the scoring ability to command defensive attention, and the mobility to contribute to Miami’s defensive scheme. He needs to develop physically in order to reach his potential on both ends, but the 20-year-old former Indiana Hoosier delivers optimism to Miami.Arya is an NBA & NBA Draft analyst from Boston, Massachusetts.
