That Izzo quote is gonna be everywhere. And in this case it’s true. The staff did a very good job with Ware and the kid clearly accepted coaching. 

TJD, Ware and Malik is in his way. Staff has been very good developing bigs. Need more success at the guard and wing spots though to win in college. Hopefully they see that now.

Didn’t think he’d be lottery, was thinking 16-20 range, great news for sure. Record setting combo showing def helped.

He's taking his talents to South Beach. 

No.15 to Miami. 

[Class of '66 Old Fart 92,015]

Does he stay or is he involved in a pre-arranged trade?

I don't understand this pick for Miami as they already have Tommy Bryant and Orland Robinson as backup centers. Happy for Ware though.

Adebayo is really good but he's 6'9" and would be better playing alongside another big, especially one that could protect the rim and stretch the defense. So Ware, if he turns out, would replace Caleb Martin their rotaton. Best case scenario would be Jovic at the 3 with Bam and Ware, though Jovic isn't a very good defender yet. But that kid can really pass and shoot for a 6'9" player. 

If Ware turns into a full-time player? A core of Bam, Jaquez, Jovic and Ware could be really good.

As for TB and Orlando Robinson? They are really, really not up to the task as NBA rotation players. Not even close. Thomas plays hard but is one of the absolute worst defensive bigs in the league. Just terrible. And I'm not even sure Orlando Robinson belongs on an NBA back bench.

He's such a great kid. I think the Heat culture will be perfect for him to develop in.

Going to be cheering him on. Could be our next All Star alum some day... has the talent for sure.

When given the opportunity, Bryant has shown he's more than capable of hanging with the big boys. As for Robinson, don't really know that much about him and don't really care.

So very much disagree.

When in the bloody hell has Thomas Bryant shown he is “more than capable of hanging with the big boys.”

Love it. But, seriously, what is up with the number of pictures in which Woody’s not actually looking at the camera?

If this is any indication, enjoy Myles Rice while you can.

Love ya man! Didn’t mean to come across as chippy.

I just think that TB sux as a pro. He’s really stiff laterally.
