I’m still waiting patiently for Terrence Ross’ first dunk as a Magic. This is a slam dunk champion here. No reason that he shouldn’t be throwing down at least one heavy slamblam per contest. Serge Ibaka ended up being the reason Aaron Gordon wasn’t ever dunking it. Who is going to take the blame this time?
Terrence Ross, by default, shoulders at least some of it. If he really, TRULY wanted to dunk, he would take off from the three-point line and posterize whoever got in his way. Remember, he’s the 2013 Sprite (drink Sprite drink it drink it drink it) slam dunk contest winner. He can do dunks other people can’t, but right now, he’s content to do everything but actually slammerwhap.
Frank Vogel is probably holding him down though. Vogel isn’t Scott Skiles, who hated all of his players, but he definitely hates Ross. You can tell by the rotations and stuff. Pay attention to a Magic game sometime and you will definitely notice.
I also assign some blame to Bismack Biyombo, because that dude just really sucks at scoring and it’s bringing the whole team down. Hard to dunk it when there’s some big oaf clogging up the paint with his oafiness. If Biyombo got traded, I bet we’d see whole games where Ross did nothing but execute flawless windmill dunks.
