that statement is true for this game so far. Raps getting good looks by moving the ball and making the right basketball plays.

It's always the same thing. The fanbase overrates all the young prospects except Derozan.

Look we had to extend him. He needed to be under contract for when the Knicks come offering up an unprotected first round pick. Get with the program people.

Jonas didn't fluke his wya into 16 pts, we need to establish him in the post first thing every game.

The recipe is easy....

you forget about his ill-advised drives.

He had JV with decent post position, opted to drive with nothing in mind only to throw a wild kickout.

Oh yeah, those drives are probably worse than everything else.

I fully expect JJ and JV to be benched for the majority of the 2nd half in favour of Ross and Biyombo. Book it!

When Casey heard JJ was better than Ross, he was like

But now he's like

with the way Faried's been playing this year, don't see it happening unless we're sending them picks.

To be fair, if we didn't pay Ross some other team would err might have.
That's not the Raptors way.

Ross actually doesnt even try to make anything happen on offence. He stands in the corner with his hands on his knees and will just watch everyone else try. He will jack up a shot he doesnt expect to make if the ball does happen to find his way to him.

Those rare occations he does find himself with the ball inside the 3pt line he does make things happen, baffling why he rarely tries to do anything.

he's gotten a lot of his points through JJ and DD actually making the right passes. Which are available very often, they've just somehow done a better job looking for him this game.

2 of his 8 FG's are from his own creation, 1 from OREB. Rest is from good finds by teammates. More please! :nod:

Ross just needs to shoot threes at an above average rate. That's all I ask.

My frustration with Ross extension was not the money. 3yr/$33M is the market rate for player of his caliper, producing his stats.

Problem I have with it, was Ross is inconsistent and not reliable player. He may give you at the end of the season 10PPG @40%3FG, but he will disappear in too many games not providing anything. I rather have committee of players like JJ/Powell/Bruno filling in his 20min, than having to rely on him.

Solid Raptors team. You guys have definitely improved.

Kabookalu · Post #860 » by **Kabookalu** » Mon Nov 9, 2015 12:14 am

Ross was playing excellent defense too in preseason. Once he signed the contract it's like he stopped trying. As badly as he's been on offense, if he played great help defense and great man defense his contract would be a lot more bearable.

Masai should have just signed Ross to a bunch of ten day contracts to keep him motivated.
