The Miami Heat have a talented roster across the board. Head coach Erik Spoelstra has plenty of weapons in his arsenal, but it is evident that Kel'el Ware is the most promising youngster. Everybody recognizes this, including center Bam Adebayo.
Even if they can overlap with their positions, Adebayo is always supportive of Ware. Spoelstra is different, which was evident with his weird season-long dynamic with the young big man this campaign.
Adebayo lays out his high expectations for Ware
Throughout the past two seasons, it is clear that Ware is a talented player. He is an athletic big man who stands at 7'0", but he is also a shooter. That is a fantastic skill set to have, especially in the modern game.
Adebayo loves playing alongside Ware, and at the same time, he is thriving as a mentor. In the long run, this is good for Ware because he has someone who believes in him and his potential.

Ware is one of the most promising players on the Heat roster because of his skill set and potential. In his limited minutes this season, Ware has shown that he can thrive in Spoelstra's system.
With his potential, Ware is playing under a bit of pressure. However, it seems that Adebayo has full faith that his youngster will shine for the Heat for years to come.
"Obviously, he's just been truly engaged. You've seen he had eight blocks; that's a crazy stat line. You can see what he can do... He's been really locked in, and we need that version of Kel’el if we're going to do something special," Adebayo said about Ware's potential to be a difference-maker.
In the long-term future, the Heat will need a young player to keep building around. It seems Ware has the most potential on the roster, and the players know that. He should have good standing within the organization, especially if he can keep convincing Spoelstra to play him more.
