"Through two months, Ware is second among the 192 players who have logged at least 500 minutes in total rebound percentage (22.0 percent). He trails only Andre Drummond, who's grabbing 23.5 percent of available rebounds. Additionally, he's T-3 in defensive rebound percentage (29.6), No. 6 in offensive rebound percentage and No. 2 in rebounds per 75 possessions (14.8). At times over his first two seasons, Ware struggled with consistently boxing out opponents."
"Through 28 games, Ware is averaging 11.9 points and 10.4 rebounds per game. That includes a monstrous eight-game stretch from Nov. 10-24, where he tallied 15.9 points, 15.1 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game on 63.7 percent true shooting. It hasn't always been perfect for the 21-year-old. But he has made incremental strides both offensively and defensively in two seasons."
Kel'el Ware entered the NBA after two college seasons at Indiana and Oregon with 15 career double-doubles. He averaged 9.3 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks in 64 games as a rookie. As a sophomore, he has improved to 11.9 points and 10.4 rebounds through 28 games, including a dominant eight-game stretch with 15.9 points and 15.1 rebounds. Ware ranks second in total rebound percentage (22.0), is top-three in defensive rebound percentage, and ranks highly in offensive rebound percentage and rebounds per 75 possessions. He has struggled at times with boxing out and securing rebounds cleanly, but his motor and effectiveness on the glass have noticeably grown and will face a test against Mitchell Robinson and the Knicks.
