Kel’el Ware accounted for 21 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), 15 rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block and three three-pointers in Monday’s win over the Celtics.
Give Ware credit for responding to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra’s recent comments about the young center’s need to improve his professionalism and consistency. The 7-footer shot 3-of-3 from beyond the arc in Monday’s victory and grabbed 15 rebounds. Once he moved into the starting lineup last season, Ware was able to develop into a solid fantasy option in standard leagues. He possesses a high ceiling heading into Year 2, especially if he’s consistently aggressive on both ends of the floor.
