Kel’el Ware is a 7-foot, stretch center who has played collegiately for Oregon and Indiana. While his freshman year with the Ducks was a disappointment, his sophomore year with the Hoosiers has proven he deserves a chance in the NBA. Kel’el’s ability to shoot while being effective at standard center skills, like defending the paint, getting rebounds, and scoring inside, makes him a near lock to be drafted. Being a month removed from being a teenager (turned 20 in April) means he has the potential to improve.
Where he is projected to be drafted makes him a prime candidate for the Jazz to select with their late first-round (29) or early second-round picks (32).
