I wouldn’t call that reasonable but there’s logic in what you’re saying. The problem is he doesn’t reward the kid when he plays well and others on the team play like donkeys but don’t get treated like Ward does. He’s your best player and best chance to build on but I wouldn’t be surprised if he left.

A number of players have had bad games at time this year, so it has been pick your poison. As for Ward leaving, everyone was saying that last year but he didn't. I think even he said he wasn't ready to start last year, and he has been given a ton of minutes this year up until this game.

IMO he needs to build up his strength to be a better defender and that should even help his offense. Next year will be his big year and he should expect a ton of minutes as he will own the 3 spot in the lineup.
