"In the words of Zach Lowe, in an attempt to boost the team's offense, they should start Nikola Jovic over Ware alongside Bam Adebayo to begin the season. He also added that they need to figure out the guard spot next to Tyler Herro, but that he would have Herro, Andrew Wiggins, Jovic, and Bam as the four other players in the starting 5."
"However, one thing that this move would do is it would complicate Ware's role for this season. After earning the starting nod toward the latter portion of last season, it'd be a difficult pill for Ware to swallow if he were now moved back to the bench. While it may be the smart move, it's hard to imagine what type of impact it may have on Ware's development."
"All summer long, it was clear that the Heat was waiting for Ware to prove that he was ready to take that next leap in his development. Even though he did have some bright moments during his time with the Heat's summer league team, I'm not sure he accomplished that. While he did close out his summer league stint strongly, there were some questionable moments for Ware, so much so that Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra went all the way to call him out publicly."
Kel'el Ware will play a major role in the Miami Heat's success or failure this season. Nikola Jovic could start over Ware alongside Bam Adebayo to boost the offense, with the guard spot beside Tyler Herro unresolved. Jovic's strong EuroBasket performance supports a chance for the other starting big spot. That move would complicate Ware's role after he earned a late-season starting nod, potentially returning him to the bench. Ware had bright summer-league moments but also inconsistency, prompting public criticism from coach Erik Spoelstra. The decision could significantly affect Ware's development in his sophomore season.
