Kel'E Ware is gonna have a big combine imo and people will finally put him where he deserves to be (top 15), that's my prediction

Literally everyone is saying he will be lucky to be drafted because he hates basketball so much.

You say this about half the players in this draft. Proof?

Ware seems like a dud competitiveness wise.

Ahh...a random YouTube podcast with 2000 views. I stand corrected.

every year we hear this same BS, tell me how that worked out for all the teams that passed on Cam Whitmore

Okay, but it did actually happen so like

Why would Ware not fall.

[TheSuzerain]

If Daniel Gafford is available for a late 1st.

And there's a bunch of random athletic/unskilled 7 footers available every year for pretty cheap.

The i don't see why I'd be interested in Ware any earlier than the end of the 1st.

i dont give a crap if he falls or not, not my argument or point.

I thought Cam Whitmore fell because of some bad medical conditions and some "character" concerns. I think he made some joke about Gradey Dick's last name and that soured some people.

But I don't remember people questioning his love for basketball.

Who's questioning Wares love for basketball?

You say that like Daniel Gafford wasn't picked in the draft. He was a second rounder, but very rarely do you just get bigs worth a darn outside of the draft.

I feel like you can get unskilled centers worth a darn easier than just about any other role/position.

But yeah late 1st/early 2nd is often a sweet spot.

Saw him play twice this season and he gave up on plays in both games. If he matures and gives more effort, then he's worthy of a high pick. If he doesn't, don't care how much talent he has, NBA coaches will bench him for doing that.

"Kel'E Ware is gonna have a big combine imo and people will finally put him where he deserves to be (top 15), that's my prediction"

my point is twofold

1) Ware is gonna have a big combine

2) it's gonna prove he should be ranked in the top 15

obviously i can't fkn control where people end up ranking him or how/low he goes in the draft, that should be a given but I forgot I was in this room temperature IQ board.

lol people say this like it doesn't actually make him a better prospect

if he just averaged 20/12/3 per 40 on 62 TS%, 25 PER, +18 Net Rating and 8.5 BPM "half-assing games" then am I supposed to drop him down my board?
