High-upside Rutgers big still in development mode
Ware is a promising 6-foot-9, 255-pound center whose appeal is long-term upside: Rutgers describes him as a dynamic, explosive frontcourt piece with size, athleticism, and versatility, and his pre-Rutgers résumé showed strong rebounding and interior impact at 1-of-1 Academy in the 2024-25 season. His college production has been minimal so far, with limited game action and no meaningful stat-line breakthrough in the 2025-26 season, and Rutgers notes he spent that year developing behind the scenes after prior injury-related setbacks. He looks like a fit for a program willing to invest in a physical rim big with growth potential rather than immediate box-score production.
