Finishes the game with 20 and 15 in his first NBA start.

That’s strong 

Also had 2 blocks. According to ESPN Stats Kel’el is the 1st player with a 20/15/2 line in his 1st career start since David freaking Robinson. So 35 years.

KelEl Ware seems like a really nice young man, his talent is undeniable, and he was drafted by one the best organizations in the league; he has everything going for him and had a promising rookie season. 

Given all of that, being called out by name by Spoelstra is not good at all:

He seemed to respond favorably to that video to start with at least.  Had a really nice game or 2.  I think Spo is trying to do what many of his previous coaches have tried and that is to light an extra fire.  But as you say, a public call out is an escalation in the attempts.

A really nice summer league game or two followed. That's 'nice', but Spo's standards are guys like Bam Adebayo that play to rip the souls out of their opponents every time they lace up.

^^ You guys do realize that Ware was was one of the top rooks in the League, all-rookie second team and got votes for rookie of the year, right? As a rook, he started 36 games, averaged 9 and 7 and 1.1 blocks, including 15 double doubles and 26 games with double digit scoring. Spo will call out professionalism and make sure guys are on board with his demands, but Ware is highly valued and for good reason.

I think he’s a really nice young guy, and that his talent is limitless. The Heat are trying to spur him into becoming a relatively bargain draft position version of Chet Holmgren or Victor Wembanyama. And they’ve got a chance with KelEl.

Ware is currently averaging a double-double in only 24.1 minutes per game.

Really having an excellent start to his season.

Yes he is. And if he wasn’t playing in the age of Wemby he’d probably have a decent shot at DPOY somewhere down the road.
