Kel'el Ware's recent performances in the summer league reflect an encouraging response to Coach Erik Spoelstra's challenge. Spoelstra urged Ware to enhance his professionalism and consistency. Following this, Ware scored 21 points in consecutive games while demonstrating stronger rebound and defensive skills. In a loss to the Cavaliers, he achieved 21 points and 9 rebounds, while in a win against the Celtics, he finished with another 21 points and 15 rebounds. His three-point shooting has notably improved, hitting 83.3% in those games. These performances come after a less impressive start in the league.
"I thought he did even better than last night," Heat assistant coach and summer league head coach Eric Glass said after Ware's summer league double-double against the Celtics. "I thought it was his best game in summer league by far. He sustained throughout the whole game. He had a stretch right in the middle of the fourth quarter where he was gassing out and he just gutted it out with the rest of those guys."
After Spoelstra challenged Ware to "really embrace and improve his professionalism, his consistency, his approach every single day," Ware has responded by turning in his two best performances of this year's summer league.
