What about jovic?


Maybe he's moving to the 3? Super sized :o

He has the ball skills, and I saw him guard Luka fairly well. No reason he can't be a 3/4 instead of 4/5

McCain fits like a glove in Philly. He's going to be a problem. Absolute sniper.

We did good Bammy

It seems Bam officially asked the front office to let him play at the 4 spot before extending his contract. He wants to showcase more of his skills and take better care of his body. What OG said on ESPN about this made sense

A legit 7'0, huge wingspan, ATHLTHIC, soft touch, can hit 3's......

If he pans out....that's a game changer......

You can see the tools and talent......


More CAPS Rex!

WOOOO HOOOO!



WE FINALLY GOT OUR GIANT DOM.........

AND HE CAN EVEN PLAY WITH BAM!!

Just came here to say I'm soooooo glad we didn't draft Dalton Knecht. Hopefully Spo/Heat culture can get some dawg out of Ware.

I'm happy to eat future crow, but personally i'd have been much more hyped about Knecht, McCain or Collier at this pick over Ware.

They might not have the tools and athletic profile of Ware, but McCain and Knecht in particular are NBA pros who would fit in just about any lineup.

Gotta love the rookie drafts...I literally never even knew Ware existed until until like 20 minutes ago but I can't wait to watch him play in a Heat jersey now and am getting hyped haha.

He's more skilled and more talented, but showed less energy so far


I trust Pat and Spo to light a fire on his ass

I don't trust Spo with a 7 footer like Ware.

Three big man rotation like the Lakers had with Bynum (5), Gasol (who was both 4 and 5), and Odom (4).

Indifferent to this pick, but it's understandable why we made it. Wasn't impressed with Knecht when watching him in the NCAA tournament. So I guess we made a good choice
