What Was Recently Said:
While it probably sounds redundant at this point, it’s simply impossible to watch Wildcats Elite and walk away feeling anything other than impressed with Ross. His IQ, pace, vision, and general instincts for running a team as a dynamic, balanced floor general are simply rare. Ross is blindingly quick and a pure blur in transition, making him virtually impossible for opposing guards to actually contain. However, he’s also more than comfortable breaking down opponents with craftiness, touching the paint or generating space, and making the proper read with the ball in his hands. Ross scores at a healthy (yet efficient) rate from all levels, but still prioritizes playmaking and getting others involved. He makes the right decision with incredible consistency and conducts himself like a coach on the floor. Ross is also a sharp on-ball defender. Although he’s the youngest player listed, it feels like he should start collecting offers immediately.
What To Expect:
After watching Jordan’s top two scorers depart for the second straight season, Ross will be required to burden a heavy load to keep this group in contention. Given everything we’ve seen over the last two summers, this shouldn’t be a major adjustment for the dynamic floor general. Although he’s a brilliant playmaker who would likely prefer dictating the action and creating opportunities for others, Ross is more than capable of dominating opponents as a scorer from all levels. He’s smart, quick, and crafty enough to consistently generate space, create clean looks, and score in a variety of different ways. Ross can effortlessly break down opposing guards, touch the paint, and make proper decisions. He’s also a pesky defender with sharp instincts for mirroring his assignment and forcing turnovers at the point of attack. Ross plays with phenomenal pace, controls the action with poise, and knows how to lead by example on both ends.
