Everything that Terrence Ross does in his career will be viewed through the distorting lens of his 51-point game. It’s like Tony Delk; he was not a notable player in any respect except that one time he got super hot for a whole game. Or Brandon Jennings. Every time I watch that dude I think “Damn damn damn he scored 55 in a single game I demand answers”.
Take away Ross’ big game and you have just another young player who is okay but not living up to the expectations of his over-expectant fanbase. He has not shown improvement this year, a fact that was okay to ignore as the Raptors were winning early. But now that DeRozan and Lowry and everybody else have returned to normal, Canadians are wondering why Terrence can’t pick up any of the lost production.
It would be nice if Ross was something other than a streaky shooter who sometimes dunks in transition, but we’re just going to have to wait for that. Stay strong, Raptors fans! Known player developer Dwane Casey is sure to make him good eventually.
