It sort of snuck up on me, but is Terrence Ross, right now, RIGHT NOW, a semi-fringe candidate for 6MOTY of the year? He’s averaging fourteen points per game without having started a game. Right now I don’t feel like there’s a breakout, surefire 6MOTY of the year winner determined yet, and if Ross just bumps up his scoring a little bit more, he’ll be right there in the conversation.
Another thing that snuck up on me is how Ross is playing the exact same minutes as he was getting last season, but shooting way better from the field and scoring six more points per game. Somehow, he’s turned himself into a deadly shooter (shooting 52% from long two point range!) after a career where he’s just been a middling scorer. Coincidentally, he becomes a free agent after this season, but I don’t want to insinuate that he suddenly is playing way better because he wants to trick some team into paying him hella money. I would never insinuate something like this.
All I know right now is that Terrence Ross highlight videos have been one of my go-tos when I want to witness sick, smooth jumpshooting performances.
