<p class="text-gray-700">Ward played his way off the Watch List this Spring. He's grown in size, has a big body with improving movements. He has work to do but is showing he can do things on the court for a player his size. He has the body and strength to put points on the board in the paint, though more foot work is needed. He looked comfortable putting up 3's from the perimeter. He's making progress. Late bloomer? </p>

He'll make the pass from the high and low post looking for cutters, and shooters. At times he shows good activity in the post defending and going for offensive rebounds.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">It was our first look at the square shoulder prospect with good size and strength. He can handle himself inside going for rebounds and points, yet can comfortably move and work his way around the perimeter using his dribble to get into the paint and putting up open 3ptrs. He had good passing and made the right cuts, works well withing the flow of the offense. We'll see more.</p>
