Summary

Terrence Ross flew under the radar for much of the season because he played on the West Coast for a non-Tournament team, but Ross is a prototype of the size, athleticism, and game of an NBA wing player.  He should be a consistent scorer at the next level, but where Ross really stands out is in the other areas: he rebounds really well for a guard, blocked almost a shot a game, and is a really underrated defender. He may not have the killer instinct of a superstar, but Ross should be a valueable, Jason Richardson-like player at the next level.
