The versatility of lineups is what’s exciting.

JJJ (6’6)
Duncan (6’7)
Jimmy (6’7)
Bam (6’10)
Jovic (6’11)
Ware (7’0)
Orlando Robinson (if he grows as a player and earns his role, 6’10)

Even Josh Richardson, Herro, and Highsmith are 6’5.

We could put out a variety of tall lineups with different skill sets.

Unfortunately, what eludes us is the all star scorer who could get a bucket whenever he wants.

I hope everyone understands that Ware isn't starting. He's still too rough.

Now we just need to trade Herro for another two way player like Jimmy and we'll be set

I hate the Ware pick....

But I also hated the Herro and Jacquez picks lmao

Surprised Filipowski is falling so much.

The Heat play small because Spo wants to switch everything on defense. Ware projects to have the ability to switch onto 1-5. He also may have the ability to shoot and space the floor as well.

If his knock is his motor I would think with guys like Bam, UD, and Zo around the organization that might be an area where the Heat can help.

His high level comp for me is Chris Bosh, I like how he shoots it, and I’d imagine he’s going to be a fantastic PnR piece eventually.

Really like the pick

Ware was an awesome first move, he's the rare C type that can really move AND has talent.


Now it's time for the second move - We've got to target a player that can create offense, can drive to the rim. It can all be on Jimmy.

We need a scorer that can drive.

We can't really bring Herro back on the team right?

Next to Rozier?

It makes so much sense to add a pick.....

In that case I'd take Flip.

Outside of that think we probably take a flyer on Bona.



1/3 ain't bad. Sign me coach I'm a shooter.
