  1. Been knew he was gonna be good, watched him during summer league and told my friends he’s like a baby demarcus cousins offensively and Hassan Whiteside defensively

  2. Ok, so I'm going to show my age here, but the best player I've ever seen at tracking the ball for blocks was Larry Nance when he was with the Cavs. Watching this breakdown I am having some serious Richfield Colosseum flashbacks. This kid is fundamentally sound as a rim protector, and I love it as a semi-boomer fan. Keep it up K.Ware! (You too with these deep dive videos)

  3. some dude at the nets game yesterday was heckling him baddd at the freethrow line. "fake wemby!!!"
    "jimmy neutron!!!" for duncan robinson

  4. Great video. Ware is exciting for sure. I think he’ll probably separate himself as the only real choice for rookie of the year by the end of the season.

    The 2 man game he has with Jovic has already looked unguardable, with Jovic being an abnormally skilled ball handler and facilitator for a 6’10” guy. They are 20-21 years old, so I think they can develop into something dominant as they continue to add nuance to the chemistry they have. Plus they will get bigger, stronger, and more physical. They have already made great gains on that front.

    Tyler Herro also plays really well with both of them, and I think that 3 man group could really develop into something great for the Heat, being that they are all 3 level scorers with insane positional size and all three play with attitude.

    I want them to play Keshad next to them, as he is another insane athlete/lob threat that can hit the 3 at a reasonable rate and can defend at a really high level. Keshad will clean up on rebounds and weak side blocks, and if Ware can develop that extra pass to a cutting Keshad, the Heat will finally have a really explosive, fun-to-watch half court offense.

    We are all tired of the small ball, we’re all tired of Bam picking up his dribble and having to bail himself out with inefficient midrange jumpers. We’re tired of lack of athleticism. Tired of all the shot clock violations. So Ware, Jovic, and Tyler have just been a great breath of fresh air, even as the team is clearly bad right now…there’s the makings of something afresh that can be better than anything they’ve had since the Big 3.

    I personally think they should tank the rest of the year and throw their hats in the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes, cause if you can put him out there with Jovic and Ware , I don’t think there would be any stopping them after very little maturing. Even if you don’t land Cooper Flagg there are plenty of other awesome talents in this upcoming draft class to add to this extremely promising young core.

  5. i had him ranked around 10-12 as far as draft projection. i thought that was still low for him… amazing athleticism, questions about his love for the game. sometimes you have to take a chance on raw talent.

  6. Miami drafting is elite! Our young guys make dumb choices when you watch them on the floor but the talent is there! Jovic, ware, and JJJ will blow up once they get more reps. And tyler breaking out to all star level too and the Heat will be a contender again. Sad to see Jimmy go in this ugly way but the future is bright in these dark times!

  7. We got 1 fellas !!!!! From North Little Rock, Arkansas !!! Wishing health and more minutes on him!

  8. why are these clips so blurry? got it set to 1080 still blurry. Are these recorded with a nokia phone while playing NBA clips?

  9. can we get a Peyton Watson video? he's genuinely one of the most ridiculous shot blocking wings I have ever seen. And he's also so much more than just a shot blocker, although it's his best skill
