There was a long moment in time when it seemed like Kel'el Ware was a rising star in the Miami Heat organization, moving up the ladder and building out a large role as a core piece of the team. This preseason, however, has been more of a gut punch than a victory parade for the young big man.
The Heat have played two preseason games thus far, and while they have been missing key guards in Tyler Herro and Davion Mitchell -- quite possibly their starting backcourt -- their frontcourt has been healthy and available. And Kel'el Ware has been relegated to the bench in both games.
