He has been playing very well. And so has Miami as a team. Spoelstra is a sorcerer.
All that said, when we contemplate comparing Ware to Sarr, it's worth mentioning that Ware is a full year older.

The Wizards don't have a track record of turning mid to low picks into stars like those franchises do. So I can't assume Ware would be as good if he were playing for this team. That's why I don't lose sleep over a player like Castle, for example. He simply would not be that good here.

Kyshawn would like a word, the cream rises to the top.

It's early. I guess DET isn't really a big surprise.

Miami is absolutely fascinating to watch. They totally changed their offense so that they look like no other NBA team. The almost never run pick-and-roll. It's just an endless parade of drive-and-kick, kinda like what Duke does a lot when they have strong guards. It's like Miami decided not to involve their big men in the actions because it just brings the opposition's big man in to defend the actions. Instead, they park their bigs in the corners and have the shoot 3's.
Bam Adebayo, for example, now has 36% of his shot attempts (6.2 per 36 minutes) coming from 3-point range, and half of them are corner 3's. Two years ago, he attempted 0.6 3PA's per game and only 16% of those were from the corner. Same thing with Ware.
Nobody has really figured out how to defend this offense yet. Miami really doesn't have elite talent, but they are 12-6.

He may never be a playoff guy due to his size, but he can definitely help a team in the regular season - a team like us, for example. I'd definitely look to acquire him from Dallas after Kyrie gets back.
They are the suck.
