LAS VEGAS, Nev. — There was a lot of hooting, hollering and high-fiving in the Miami Heat war room when they were able to pick former Indiana center Kel'el Ware with the 15th overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft a few weeks ago.Ware, the 7-foot center who spent one season at Indiana after transferring from Oregon, has been a big hit so far in his first few weeks in pro ball.
All 30 NBA teams have converged on Las Vegas for 10 days of Summer League action, and the Heat looked good in their first win here. They play again on Monday against Oklahoma City. Bisaccio mentioned Ware's ability to be coached a coupler of times after the game. He's been impressed by that, and he knows a lot of that comes from his time at Indiana.

He’s already been working his tail off in the weight room and are strength coaches are doing a fantastic job at it. He had some good finishes, and that’s all very encouraging. Obviously he’s athletic and he gets to the rim quickly. He’s somebody that can go up and contest every shot.''
