Kel'el Ware's dominant night against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs in preseason action made a big statement to everyone watching: that Ware's talent is undeniable, and he's absolutely got the potential to carve out a role as a long-term starter in this league.
Against San Antonio, Kel'el went for 29 points and 12 rebounds in 26 minutes of action. He was strong defending in pick-and-roll, showed his presence as a vertical threat offensively, and Erik Spoelstra even remarked that he "played with force," a big compliment from one of the best coaches in the game.
