Also, my comment is not a knock on Ward' coaching ability. He's clearly a good coach, but his "system" doesn't seem to do much for offensive productivity
Struggling?

Baertschi has 17 points in 19 games as a rookie pro.
Walter has 15 points in 19 games.
Kolanos has 8 points in 12 games.

Not sure I'd describe any of those guys as struggling this year. Ward having the team play amazing defensively does not mean he's holding the offense back.

Also Sylvester who you are touting has 10 points in 20 games and thus qualifies more for the struggling label than the 3 guys you did mention.

Strange comment.
