Who aside from Cook are you referring to as our top 2 scorers? Ward? Because he is 4th in PPG behind Cook, Wright, and Baker.

Cook has a lot of empty stats that didn’t help us win games & Wright has actually struggled a bit down the stretch here recently, losing the ball on the dribble/take a little too often.

Ward started picking up some slack and really consistently giving us 15+ PPG in like 5-6 straight games against good opponents.

Got knicked right as it felt like he was gearing up to go on a tear to finish the season.

TLDR Ward has legit potential. Quick release & has started incorporating the dribble drive into his game & defending better. Was very happy to see him make an appearance vs UGA — less about this season & more about his momentum developing as a player.
