The Miami Heat always had their sights set on Indiana center Kel'el Ware at No. 15 in the NBA draft. Pat Riley called him the player 'that we wanted.'
They had a good idea of what they wanted when it was determined they had the No. 15 pick. It was just a matter of if the player was still around.
"We feel very fortunate that we were able to get the specific player that we wanted," Heat team president Pat Riley said. "... This name kept popping up all the time in front of me. The videos kept coming. The workout was exceptional the day that he was here. We never deviated from where he was on the board. Whoever was there or whatever it was, we were committed.
