I think we'll see more of Ross as the season goes on. These first two games have been against top Eastern teams, and as skilled as Ross may be potentially, he's still a bit undersized and raw. JV, and Ross may both be rookies, but JV is still the more overall exerienced player, especially in terms of high level competition. We shouldnt look past the fact that JV is essentially a #2 level pick and TRoss is a #11-12 that went #8. I think we'll see more of Ross as we play more of the weaker teams and the matchups are more favourable for a rookie. There was much talk of TRoss being more the future than DeMar, but I think the new contract tells us that DeMar is the now and TRoss's development isn't going to be rushed.

I didn't read all the comments but here it goes.
two rookies in a starting lineup = bad idea.
Either JV starts or Ross...they picked JV...I would too.For still frame photograph of me reading the DeRozan thread please refer to my avatar

In most of his preseason burn he looked lost and in over his head. He needs some weight and a better understanding of how to use his tools. Summer league doesn't mean a thing (otherwise DD would be all NBA and no one would be worried about his contract). Ross, at this point, hasn't shown a single reason as to why he should get minutes.LET'S GO RAP-TORS!!!!!

I think he should get minutes tonight on the second night of a back to back.

I don't think anyone expects him to start now just needs some run."I may be wrong ... but I doubt it"

- DeMar has upside
- he will continue to improve
- the last 2 years of his contract could be GREAT value
- he won't fizzle now that he has made money and will get an even bigger contract after this one“The saving of our world from pending doom will come, not through the complacent adjustment of the conforming majority, but through the creative maladjustment of a nonconforming minority.” - Martin Luther King

I want to see him play, I really do. I just don't know where all this love is coming from.
I can't even begin to believe you put Ross and Harden in the same sentence.Last edited by minks77; Sun Nov 4, 2012, 04:21 PM.LET'S GO RAP-TORS!!!!!

It's early in his career so I'm not saying he's a bust but at the moment (judging from preseason and the 6 minutes he spent impersonating a fan chosen randomly from the crowd in the opener) he's not shown an ability to nail anything but the rim nor tear anything up other than offensive sets.

I don't give a shit about preseason. Anyone could play well in preseason and end up being shit. I have high hopes for T Ross so i'm going to keep hyping him up, you say what you want and i'll say what i want.
