With another mid-first selection and a string of good picks in the last few seasons, Miami added to its core at the 2024 NBA Draft.
The Miami Heat have had a great run of picks in the middle of the NBA Draft the last few years, including Jaime Jaquez, Nikola Jovic and Tyler Herro.Indiana's Kel'el WareFor now, their newest addition will join a core of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo and the aforementioned up-and-comers, who will look to contend in the league's Eastern Conference next season.
It took the talented 7-footer two programs in as many years to really hit his stride, but Ware is now ready to contribute in the NBA. One of the best centers in the Big Ten last season, Ware averaged a near double-double with 15.9 points and 9.9 rebounds per contest. He also knocked down 42.5% of his triples, which was a positive development in terms of NBA fit. In the modern NBA, being a shot blocker and floor spacer as a center generally projects pretty well.
All eyes now turn to 2024 NBA Summer League, which kicks off Saturday, July 6, with the California Classic. The annual summer showdown featuring all 30 teams takes place from July 12-22 in Las Vegas.
