Kel'el Ware's first NBA season was promising. Not earth-shattering, not a guarantee of future stardom, but still rock-solid and encouraging from all angles.
The Miami Heat are, of course, hoping there's another big step coming. And more forward progress after that. If not, they'll kick themselves over their refusal to include him in their trade offer for Kevin Durant. They will, however, play a part in whether this works out or not, and so far, they're doing the right thing, namely by putting him under the tutelage of three-time All-Star and keeper of Heat culture Bam Adebayo.
