NBA Assistant Coach on Kel’el Ware:
“They got a steal with [Kel’El] Ware, Everyone questioned his motor at Oregon; nobody questioned his talent. And people are going to be disappointed they didn’t take him [before Miami selected him 15th]. His shot blocking was off the charts in Summer League. He got up and down the floor. He’s always been considered a talented offensive player, but he did it more consistently than people expected. He really shined. This is going to give Bam [Adebayo] the ability to not be at the five [center] full time.”

Kel’el Ware Summer League stats:
18.0 PPG
8.3 RPG
1.5 BPG
61.8 FG%
30.0 3P%

NBA Assistant Coach on Pelle Larsson:
“Smart as heck. He just knows how to play. If [Heat 2023 first-round pick] Jaime Jaquez is a 10 on the know-how-to-play scale, this kid is right there with him. He’s not as physically gifted as Jaquez, but he can shoot. And he’s got a great feel for the game.”

NBA Assistant Coach on Josh Christopher
“He can really score. He played in some competitive summer league games and showed late in games that he could be a threat. From talking to people who have worked with him, it wasn’t like he balked at going to the G-League. He took the challenge to learn how to distribute and become a better player in the G-League when asked to do that.”
