"Kel'el Ware's first NBA season was promising. Not earth-shattering, not a guarantee of future stardom, but still rock-solid and encouraging from all angles. The Miami Heat are, of course, hoping there's another big step coming. And more forward progress after that. If not, they'll kick themselves over their refusal to include him in their trade offer for Kevin Durant. They will, however, play a part in whether this works out or not, and so far, they're doing the right thing,"
""I'm hard on Kel'el," Adebayo told reporters. "... I was raised by [Udonis Haslem]." Ware has, in essence, decades of institutional knowledge at his disposal. If he doesn't pan out, it won't be for the lack of expert mentorship. Adhering to the Heat's strict guidelines for conditioning and hustle could unlock the full potential for Ware's career. The Heat have high expectations for their players."
Kel'el Ware produced a promising first NBA season that showed steady, though not spectacular, progress and clear room for growth. The Miami Heat expect further development and could regret past trade decisions if Ware fails to advance. The organization is actively supporting Ware by pairing him with veteran Bam Adebayo and leveraging decades of institutional knowledge from leaders. The Heat enforce strict standards for conditioning, hustle, professionalism, and toughness that require buy-in and consistent effort. Coach Erik Spoelstra has urged Ware to embrace and improve his professionalism. Ware's success depends on adhering to those standards and continuing skill and physical development.
