FWIW I am a Wizards fan. As much as I like Beal I think Ross has a chance to be a better scorer.

Don't be shocked if Ross is a pleasant surprise.

Davis, JV, should have seen this coming, I really hope we selected for another team.

Nice pick. Athletic, good shooter, can defend and has the height to play the three.

We lost Harrison Barnes to a coin flip. What the fck you gonna do? I can't hate the pick. He's a great all-around SG/SF type player and the rest of the guys like Lamb, PJ3, Rivers all have major issues.

BC thats why.

HES A **** IDIOT.


Any of Houston's three picks would have landed Ross.

Ross is universally regarded as a 20+ pick

7th - Harrison Barnes
8th - Terrence Ross
9th - Andre Drummond

One of these is not like the other.

Always loved Ross. At 8? That is a little insane but this kid has serious skills. Not a bad pick at all.

It's funny, but we sucked this year to pick Terrance Ross.

Except (according to NBA.com) he's a SG.

But more importantly, who??? Lamb would have been great. It's a shame Barnes didn't drop one more spot. Glad we didn't get Drummond.

But who is Terrence Ross? Did he even work out for us?
