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.
