Coming in as a consensus four-star prospect and ranked as high as No. 36 in the nation, Kentucky freshman forward Lance Ware isn’t going to blow anybody away with his athleticism or his shooting. He’s not the strongest player on the floor, nor is he the most skilled.
What the 6-foot-9, 223-pound forward out of Camden, N.J. does bring to the table, though, is something UK head coach John Calipari begs for from his players year after year: drive, effort, and motor.
“One thing that you need to know about Lance is that he is a worker,” Ware’s former high school head coach Rick Brunson told KSR back in January.
