What would it take to get Terrence Ross?

malakas · Jun 9, 2015

The difference between josh smith and ross is that smith was criticised for his on court behaviour. Ross problems stem from off court issues and they translate on the court. Tah if hes traded will be because the Bulls need to shed salary AND translate their frontcourt plethora into a wing. There arent many cheap wings available.
the guy is lazy and lacks motor to better his craft. Now maybe he wakes up and realise that hes in dangedbto wash our ofnthe league soon the way he goes and after a trade he starts puting in the work
its not solely his problem. The Raps are a very bad team in developing players and the whole lockeroom up there is in a weird place.

From espn insider scouting report:

(keep in mind this was written before he regressed in almost every way last season)

Scouting report
+ Great leaper; explosive in the open floor.
+ Improving shooter who must be respected beyond the arc.
+ Needs to be more consistent on defense.

Analysis
One of the strangest nights in recent NBA history occurred on Jan. 25, 2014. That's when Terrence Ross, a middling scorer in two NBA seasons, erupted for 51 points against the Clippers. He made 16 of 29 shots, nailed 10 3-pointers, knocked down 9 of 10 free throws and even grabbed nine boards for good measure. Then he didn't hit the 20-point mark again for another month.

Ross, the No. 8 pick in the 2012 draft made significant progress in his second year, moving into the starting lineup after Rudy Gay was traded to Sacramento and finishing the season with a 10.9 PPG scoring average. Ross is the rare player who could potentially win a slam dunk contest and a 3-point shootout. Ross connected on 2.0 3-pointers per game last season at a 39.5 percent clip. However, he struggled mightily in the playoffs, hitting just 16.7 percent of his 3s in the Raptors' seven-game loss to the Nets. Still, his established range should open up more opportunities to attack closeouts off the bounce, enabling Ross to use his athleticism around the rim.

Ross could become a much more valuable asset if he can transform his athleticism into more effective defense. Ross struggled greatly against pick-and-roll ball handlers last season, allowing .871 points per play, according to Synergy, placing him in the league's 28th percentile. He also is a poor rebounder, given his 6-foot-6 size and leaping ability, as he collected just 4.2 boards per 36 minutes.
