Player Review Terrence Ross

Terrance Ross was a high 1st round pick, and we still wonder when he will live up to his potential. He has hops to burn, can shoot, has all the skills to become a gun in the league. Ross earnt his role as a starter last season, and kept onto it for the full regular season. A bad matchup, put him as the scoring punch of the bench, he excelled at the role, and may look at that more next season.

Offense

With a team with so many weapons, Ross is seen as the 4th option and he has played that rolled perfectly. Ross didnâ€™t take many bad shots, hitting on an impressive 48%. Ross doesn't add too much in other categories, even with a career high 2.2 assists per game, he is lucky to get an offensive rebound each game. Finding open looks behind the arc is one of the main objectives of Ross, knocking down 42% was a justified reward.

Rating: B+

Defence

Ross did his part in some parts and was left wanting in other areas. The biggest example was his 7 blocks for the season, yes thatâ€™s right, 7 only. Ross playing at SG, is see as one of the tallest in the league, at 6 foot 7 inches, he uses that length to great benefit, getting almost a steal a game. Another career high was Ross getting 3.1 defensive rebounds, this ranks well in the league, and itâ€™s hard getting a rebound with Drummond and Ibaka

Rating: C-

Ross is a handy offensive weapon, he has length, speed and athleticism. All the tools are there to be a defensive stalwart also, itâ€™s a mindset and effort thing. Ross did his role in this team, but when coming up against the top Shooting Guards, he was left wanting. Ross took steps forward this season, but has he peaked?

Final Grade: C
