Terence Ross projections

[smith&wesson]

i like the OP's comparison to Morris Peterson. a more athletic version. i can buy that.

mo pete was alright i guess. but nothing special really.. not saying i think he will be an all star but im expecting more from ross ...

I see him more as a richard jeffreson type in his eary years with the nets.

I like that comparison

How are they very different players? they both have length versatility 6:9 skinny dudes can fly and love to take tough shots the only difference is ross is a much better shooter

Tmac isn't Tmac without being 6'8. your man isn't that tall dude.

well so am i!

if Morris Peterson was a better athlete he would have been a much better player.

I'm not worried about his jumper, but I'd like to see him finish around the rim a little bit more with it. If he can do that, the sky's the limit for this kid. I like his combination of size and mobility at his position as well.

you mean like if we combined mo pete and derozan together we would have the perfect wing player ?

for real though mo pete was way way too inconsistent for my liking. he was always a guy who went off for one game and disapeared for 4.

I like the Mo Pete comparison. Although I think Ross has the upside to be better. Dorell Wright and RJ are also pretty good predictions as well. If he reaches his full potential, I could see him being a young Jason Richardson type. He definitely needs to put on some weight though.

T - ross = jr smith

[smith&wesson]

i PERSONALLY, see lots of similarities in his game with a former great raptor, Morris Peterson.

First guy that came to mind when I read the thread title too. One thing I always thought about MoPete was that he had some untapped talent but seemed to settle for a being a complimentary player.

I like the Mo Pete comparison.

have you guys all forgotten how average and inconsistent mo pete was

if ross is going to be mo pete versian 2.0 ... trade him now!!!

[smith&wesson]

wow u compared him to MP3 what he ever do to u? lol

exactly ...

[greg_ory_2005]

That's why I said he had the potential to be better than Mo Pete lol

[Freddy_T28]

man there is some serious d*** riding of mr. ross right now haha tmac? really?

this is becoming jonas 2.0 with the unrealistic expectations.

dorell wright sounds about right to me.

Do people even remember how good prime Mo Pete was? He was putting up 17/5/2 on good percentages. Thats pretty darn good when you factor in his above average perimeter D.

but it is much more plausible. i think mo pete in his prime was all around better than richard jefferson. jefferson's 3pt numbers in his first five years in the league are HORRENDOUS. jefferson had the luxury of playing with guys like Jkidd and Kmart. mo pete had who? aside from VC, who happened to be injured most of the time, no one else made his game easier for him.

Those 4 games were probably a 4 game western road trip. mo only scored at home. check his career numbers
