"Kel'el Ware is starting to hit from downtown Last year, Ware was tasked with being a true center to allow Bam Adebayo to roam around a bit more when the two were paired together. For his rookie campaign, Ware wound up making a total of 35 three-pointers for the entire season. This tracked with what he did in college, where he essentially averaged 0.5 made three-point shots per game during his two years split between Oregon and Indiana."
"But in a game only the most dedicated of Heat fans paid attention to, Ware's Summer League finale opened the door for a greater green light. Back on July 14 against Boston, Ware wound up playing a bit of the 4 spot as UDFA Vladislav Goldin played as a true center. The end result was Ware going 3-3 from three en route to a 21 points, 15 rebound game."
Two preseason games exposed concerns about Miami's ball-handling, including 13 first-half turnovers against Milwaukee. The lack of true ball handlers has been apparent. Kel'el Ware has been a bright spot with improved perimeter shooting. Last season Ware served as a traditional center and made 35 three-pointers in his rookie year. His college numbers showed roughly 0.5 made threes per game. Ware's Summer League finale produced a 3-for-3 outing from deep with 21 points and 15 rebounds. In the current preseason he has already hit multiple threes, which could open the paint, create offensive-rebounding chances, and complicate rotation choices involving Bam Adebayo and Nikola Jovic.
