Kel'el Ware has already taken coveted Heat role from Bam Adebayo

"It's become pretty clear over the last few months that Bam Adebayo is no longer the starting center for the Miami Heat. That job now belongs to Kel'el Ware. Bam is still a starter, but he'll likely be sliding to the power forward position full-time this coming season for the Heat. And it's probably for the best. Bam playing the power forward position will take significant pressure off his shoulders on both ends of the floor,"

"With the way the Heat have been pushing the Ware narrative, it's almost certain that the intention is for him to be the starter at the center position to begin the year. Whether he'll prove his worth in training camp and whether he can keep the job as the season unwinds remains to be seen. But, at least for now, it's pretty safe to assume that Ware is going to be the starting center this year."

Kel'el Ware is expected to be the Miami Heat's starting center, with Bam Adebayo shifting to full-time power forward. Bam's move to power forward should reduce defensive and offensive pressure on him and limit wear over an 82-game regular season. Miami has actively promoted Ware's development and appears committed to giving him the starting role coming into the year. The Heat declined major veteran acquisitions and are relying on young players, with Ware near the top of candidates to make a significant leap. If Ware secures the job, he could strengthen a positional need and ease burden on the team's primary player, though he is unlikely to single-handedly create a championship-caliber turnaround.
