"Somehow, the Heat has a -9.5 net rating when Ware is on the floor. The fact that he's a starter and that the Heat have one of the best point differentials in the league is quite the riddle. Amongst starters and regular rotation players, Ware has the worst net rating on the team. Even though net rating isn't the end-all, be-all statistic that some elevate it to be, it's certainly troubling that Ware has struggled mightily to start the season in that department."
"Taking statistics out of the equation, Ware has easily been one of the most inconsistent players for the Heat this year. And there's a strong argument to be made that his worst performance of the year came in the Heat's loss to the Spurs. Heading into the big matchup against the Spurs and Victor Wembanyama (even though they didn't directly go head-to-head much of the night), Ware finished with zero points (0-4 FG) and seven rebounds in 21 minutes of action. On brand, Ware finished a team-worst -20 on the night."
Kel'el Ware has been inconsistent across Miami's early-season games, producing both promising moments and damaging lapses. The Heat register a -9.5 net rating with Ware on the floor, the worst among starters and rotation players despite a strong overall point differential. Ware produced a scoreless, -20 outing against the Spurs, finishing 0-4 with seven rebounds in 21 minutes. Primary concerns focus on effort and engagement rather than pure talent, since Ware's size and athleticism create upside when he is locked in. His poor stretches have materially harmed Miami's early performance and rotations.
