2012 NBA Draft Scouting Report: Terrence Ross


Position: Shooting Guard

Size: 6-6, 195

School: Washington, Sophomore


Strengths:
  • Three-point shooter
  • Smooth stroke from outside
  • Catch-and-shoot ability
  • Uses screens well to free himself up
  • Pull-up jumper
  • Can post up smaller defenders
  • Athleticism
  • Length
  • Good shot-blocker for a wing



    Weaknesses:
  • Too often settles for jump shots rather than trying to attack basket
  • Taking defenders off the dribble
  • Creating his own shot
  • Ball handling

    Summary: Due to his athleticism, ability to shoot the rock and ideal size for an NBA shooting guard, Ross is a late lottery prospect. This is first year of being a go-to player at Washington after coming off the bench last season, so there is still plenty of room for Ross to grow his game.

    Player Comparison: Nick Young. Young is nothing more than a scorer in the NBA who really doesn’t contribute in many other areas of the game. Ross has the potential to be a more well-rounded player but makes his biggest impact at Washington scoring the basketball. Both guys are capable of stroking it from deep, but Young is more dangerous off the bounce than Ross.
