Watched the game, then about 4 YouTube videos on the guy this morning.... First off Oregon has a bad ass court with the trees, and second he was 46% on catch and shoot corner 3s. Third....90 percentile fast break scorer....to bad lowery is gone, maybe he get's some rythm with Kevin Love. Forth.... 84 percentile roll and pop guy....had me thinking of the finals 3 years ago when spo rolled out all the small guy traffic screening for each other.... and left Bam in the middle for that hub and spoke ball movement.


So what are we looking at here? a 110% guy like a larger version of Caleb? With some of that JJJ off ball movement? and a splash of Tucker corner 3 or baseline option?

The dude is drifting pretty much nonstop to keep passing lanes open, I saw like 3 or 4 examples of him punishing defenders for turning the their backs to him.


dude seems savvy, and one of those max effort guys, we saw extra passes, tough rebounds, help defense, iso defense.....I think I am going to love this guy.....

I know I asked you the same thing last year....but as a guy who kinda only follows the Heat...with JJJ last year and Keshad this year.....why the hell do people crap on older experienced 4 year/ 5 year guys. Keshad seems like a dude who is polish and ready to plug in now.

I was pretty bummed at loosing Caleb, and poof this guy shows up. I don't know if he has 2022 Caleb level defense on 1s and 2s...but the last 2 years neither did Caleb....but this dude is bigger, stronger, is creating his own shot...and flying around effecting the game in a lot of ways Caleb did.

For as iffy this draft is with star talent, I think it actually has ALOT of quality role players. Like more than usual. Thats right up the heats alley.

I have trying to figure that out for years. The younger the player is the more time you likely have to spend on developing a player which is a disadvantage to the team and the less you know about a player.

Years to develop… then they finally give you one very good year and it’s time for the max rookie extension.

I like the idea of having serviceable years before they start begging for huge pay days.

Should have kept him over Thomas Bryant IMO. Not that it matters in the big picture but Orlando was somewhat solid in the minutes he played and I had my reservations about him

Still have a hard time believing we brought dru smith back with the knowing that he’s a complete chump. Going to be hard to bear that one with no PG depth

Once they drafted Ware it was only fair to let him go and find a team who will use him

I get it but Heat are better off with him as a 3rd stringer than elsewhere. Bryant is coming off that big injury a few years ago and could be out the league soon. Again it doesn’t matter in the big picture but why not bring him back over the older guy

Simple, the younger the player the greater the potential, the longer you stay, the more you had to work on to show you belong in the league. For example if Ware spent 4 years in college, he likely never showed any improvement in his attitude or motor that was his freshman year critique.

A Sarr fan? Not surprising. I know zero about him, what do you think his year one looks like? He should start with Poole and Kuzma, right?

Poole should be bench boy. Hes not your leader. Id have ole Bubba Carrington start. He looks like he cares.

Sarr has that build bro. Look at him move. I hope WAS can develop him properly. Please. We need some more stars.
