IU basketball’s Kel’el Ware picked by Miami Heat


Miami Heat general manager Adam Simon was thrilled to land what he described as a “3-and-D center” with the No. 15 pick on Wednesday night. 

The Heat drafted Indiana basketball’s Kel’el Ware in the first round of the 2024 NBA Draft. Ware, who was in attendance at the Barclays Center, transferred to IU after spending his freshman year at Oregon. 

Simon touted Ware’s versatility when he spoke to reporters at the end of the night. 

“It’s not easy to find 7-footers that can play on the perimeter offensively and also be able to defend with his ability to shot block and defend the post,” Simon said. “For us, that was very appealing.”
