"Let our young guys show what they can do". How's that going?

In the first tyoo games of the SUMMER LEAGUE Kasparas Jakucionis has more turnovers (8) than points (7). Turnovers in his one season in college were Jak's beeg problem in the run-up to, and his fall in, the draft.

As for Kel'el Ware,

And,

Ware, who closed last season as the Heat’s starting center on his way to being selected for the NBA All-Rookie Second Team, finished Sunday’s loss with 12 points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field, 1-of-4 shooting on threes and 3-of-3 shooting from the foul line, three rebounds and one block in 28 minutes.
...
But the Heat’s coaching staff wants to see Ware dominate in his second summer league after establishing himself as one of the NBA’s top rookies last season. With just three rebounds on Sunday, more will be expected from Ware in the coming weeks during summer league.
