Stop insulting people every post too, it's getting old. It's been old.


They are nothing alike.


Terrence Ross is an elite athlete who scores mainly off the ball in the flow of the offense. Anderson was more iso and ball dominant even with a terrible handle.

Ross is a very good defender at the college level with the laterals and likely the physical measures along with the basic BBIQ for that to translate as well. Anderson was not anything more then an average defender at best and it was obvious he wouldn't translate that well on that end.


Your opinion means nothing you are a nobody. I put forward stats which are the equivalent of facts. F your weak plea to stop being dominated by facts

LOL, dominated by facts.

Stop directly equating college production to NBA potential when the mood strikes and then contradicting yourself in other cases.

Also, you admitted you've seen the dude play only a few times, which likely means like once when you were channel surfing and some youtube mixes, so I don't see the point here of bringing up James Anderson or even making the comparison?

I guess any wing in any draft ever should be baselessly compared to James Anderson because you chose his name out of a hat and then say since his stats were better they compare and that player could never be better then Anderson(lol, what a goal that is to shoot for!)...

He reminds me of Jason Richardson a bit. Saw him play a little bit this year, he will be a good player in the league.

I see him as CJ Miles on a good day (one of CJ Miles' better days).

The JR Smith comparison seems to fit Lamb for me.

Ross may be the better overall player but no-one is saying that Ross is going to earn his keeps with things other than scoring and shooting. This is just another case of how quickly they forget. It is not like James Anderson is a bum, if giving the chance he could contribute somewhere, don't try to knock him just to try and make Ross look better than what he has shown. I like facts you boys like fantasy.

Using max vert as your "facts" to prove that Anderson is as good an athlete as Ross is nonsensical.

Your comprehension skills are nonsense. I posted a comparison by a legit site that shows all of James Anderson's shooting and scoring numbers to be superior to Ross's numbers. Never did I try and use athleticism as my argument. That is the weak argument that others are trying to use when Ross has not even been through the combine. I posted stats which are the equivalent of facts. Posted again below since you are so slow.

What is a weak argument?

It's hysterically obvious Ross is miles ahead of Anderson as an athlete, like not even in the same stratosphere.

I could care less about his combine numbers.

It's like somebody trying to tell me Wayne Ellington compares to DeMar DeRozan as an athlete.

Or James Johnson compared to Paul George.


And great, James Anderson as the stand alone 1st option posted better on paper percentages and numbers in a lot of categories. Wonderful. Totally proves whatever angle you're shooting for.

I guess Jordan Crawford is bound to be better then Gordan Hayward.

SMH, this guy.


You know what's nonsense? That your mom allows you on the interwebz before you finish your homework. Am I going to have to tell your dad?

You can't solely use stats when projecting college guys because of all the different competition, and styles of play across the NCAA. Seasons don't have that many games to start with(small sample size), and one night a team might play a team that plays very low possession ball with games that are in the 50s. 2 days later they might play a team that plays 1-3-1 zone and only shoots 3s. There is simply way too much variation to rely only on stats.

You have to look at projectable skills, what can this guy do in the nba and also how that translated to production at the NCAA level. The problem with only looking at stats is that they don't tell you if what a guy does to produce like that in college will work as a pro. There's plenty of guys who produced majorly in college that couldn't hang in the pros. There's also guys that didn't produce much in college that eventually find a spot in te league because they had skills that translate. Think of a greg stiemsma. Couldnt get of te bench at UW, but his size, IQ, screen setting and unselfish play allowed him to be a productive role player in the nba. A guy like that never even gets a look if you only examine statistics.

Smaller Wes Johnson, his below average ball handling will limit him to being just a spot up shooter, can't get to the rim and therefore can't use his athleticism properly

He will be a good pick at the 15-20's anyway

j-rich is probably the comparison i agree with the most in this thread.
he's not as long as j-rich is, but ross is also not as stiff and mechanical in his movements.
i think he'll be more than just a spot up shooter because of the different ways he can get his shot off: spot ups, pull ups, coming off screens, 1 dribble step backs, etc.
he moves well off the ball so he could set up drives off curls and off show n gos.
one thing he'll definitely have over j-rich is his defense though. he's a much better defender at this stage because of his better fluidity.
