Kel’el Ware: NBA draft scouting report and intel

[ad_1]

“Ware’s first year at Oregon, he was very soft, didn’t play hard, and didn’t say much,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype. “Now at Indiana, watching his film, I feel like he’s played a lot harder than he had at Oregon. He’s productive. They haven’t won much because some of the other guys they brought in haven’t worked out. Ware has held up his part of the deal and been impactful. He’s blocked shots, caught lobs, made a few shots, and shown he can step away from the basket. I think there’s some stuff there you can work with if he is a guy who’s going to play hard and become physical.”

“Ware is a very gifted player,” another executive told HoopsHype. “He just needs to be more consistent in his effort. We’ve all seen the box scores where he has a 20-10 game but also where he’s in single digits in points and rebounds. Like a lot of young big men, he needs to find that consistency effort-wise on a nightly basis. In the NBA, you’re playing 82 games, and hopefully another 16. He’s made some progress under coach Woodson at Indiana.”
