He\u2019s scored 24 total points with 16 rebounds, one assist, three steals and five blocks, converting on 40.0 percent of his field goal attempts and 2-of-7 (28.6 percent) from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<p>Even though the G-League is a step down from competition, this is an excellent opportunity for Ware to accumulate extra game reps, given he\u2019s not currently in the Heat\u2019s big-man rotation.<\/p>\n<p>This shouldn\u2019t be viewed as a demotion. It allows him to play a specific role on both ends of the floor for an extended period while also getting the player development feedback necessary from head coach Dan Bisaccio, a former development staffer under Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear whether or not how long he will spend time in Sioux Falls. Nikola Jovic was another former Heat rookie who spent time in Sioux Falls as a rookie\u2013and developed over time. Not all growth is linear, and not all players develop the same\u2013but they see this as the proper tool for helping fine-tune Ware\u2019s skillset as a rookie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami Heat first-round rookie Kel\u2019el Ware will be sent down to the Sioux Falls Skyforce, the team\u2019s G-League affiliate, for assignment, the\u00a0team announced\u00a0Tuesday.
