12 Days of Centers - Adebayo + Ware
Day 9 of our 12 Days of Centers series brings a special 2-for-1 — and it’s a dream scenario. We take a deep dive into Miami Heat bigs Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware, two very different centers who both feel unlikely based on contract and availability… but would completely change the Pacers ceiling if the door ever cracked open. Bam represents the ultimate plug-and-play veteran: elite defensive versatility, playmaking from the five, switchability, and a skill set that checks almost every box this roster needs. Ware, on the other hand, is the upside swing — a young, bouncy big who adds rim protection, vertical spacing, and a growing stretch element that fits perfectly with Indiana’s pace and offensive identity. Neither path is likely realistic — and that’s kind of the point. As we get deeper into the series, this episode is about exploring the ideal fits and understanding what the Pacers would look like if they swung for the fences.
