Terrence Ross has been leaving practice first

[Sheldon Cooper]

That's the dumbest stat in history of stats. If you know anything about basketball, you know that Amir is 100x better and more valuable than Tyler.

[team edward]

I was obviously speaking in hyperboles, but it was still a bad pick

Yeaaa... we wouldve been muuuch better off picking Austin Rivers......../sarcasm
I still remember Raptor fans blowing up on twitter crying to the moon that the Raptors didn't take him... lol.

Drummond was the obvious pick man

I passed on somebody I consider a top-five talent in the draft because we felt like he didn’t have the right mental makeup. I passed on someone we thought was a top-three physical specimen because we felt he wasn’t the right fit for our team and didn’t have the right mental makeup

[IMAN5]

that's unfortunate if true, but this really bad slump has only been a couple games. Sure he hasn't been perfect but i'd give it a bit more time before all this throwing him off the team talk.

[JN]

TR is best natural scorer this team has, by far.

Only if he could keep his focus and motivation on consistent basis...

..... To be a natural scorer you have to be comfortable working in traffic, being able to work through contact. Ross is not

[KobeoverLebron]

Everyone who is saying Ross was a bad pick.. should we have picked Rivers or Lamb instead then? SMH

[no dice]

landry fields.... -55.7... da f is that

[no dice]

chuck hayes prolly tried to be the first to leave but he was too slow footed

Not sure if serious..............

Is this your first time on the Raps board?

Not being serious at all.. Wasn't a great draft after the 8th pick

I heard Chuck Hayes stays around after practice to mop up the gym, thus pursuing his first career choice...janitor.

[EFF3KT]

He has NBA 2K matches to play. Give him a break.

[Ari_Emanuel]

He needs guidance in his life before he turns into the next JR Smith.

Comparing him to JR Smith is a HUUUGE stretch at this point. I understand the similarities but they have different pathologies. JR Smith is fully aware of his decisions and lifestyle choices. He strikes me as someone who knows he was blessed with basketball gifts but honestly doesn't care about winning and doesn't take himself seriously. JR knows he's gaming the NBA system.

Ross comes across as a lost child. He's a young horny male with plenty of hot groupies. Getting a girl pregnant could happen to any one of us in his situation. The biggest thing I look for in athletes is:

- Not get random girls pregnant.
- If you do, sh*t happens but don't do it again and get over it quickly. As a wealthy athlete, having an accidental pregnancy isn't a big deal in the grand scheme of things as long as the mother isn't psychotic. Be a man, get over it, go back to focusing on basketball. Your career will be short so make the most of it.

Clearly he's failed point 1 and point 2 is not looking promising. He has a diminutive personality so it's easy to see why he's gotten lost in the raptors locker room and why he's probably easily influenced by women. Hopefully this is an avenue for him to learn more about himself and develop a stronger personality.

lol it's only for the last 2.5 weeks. Aka when he was starting and we were getting trashed every first Q then he didn't play again.

[gutobr]

and what about Bruno? how is he doing?

Jr Smith is twice as talented as Ross. He also plays way harder and has that "dog" in him

[Crazomali]

and what about Bruno? how is he doing?

apparently has the greatest work ethic on the team.

Someone needs to grab this kid by the shoulders and just give him a few words of encouragement and guidance. The team is obviously still 100% behind Ross seeing how much they were encouraging him every time he made a bucket last night. It just going to take time for him. Be patient.

I've asked this in another thread. How does everyone know it was an escort? I vaguely remember seeing him with a baby in some thread but I don't remember the details.

Umm we should have picked Drummond.
