Toronto Raptors: Top 10 NBA Draft picks in franchise history

8. Terrence Ross (SF) — No. 8 pick in 2012 NBA Draft

Career stats (with the Raptors): 363 GP, 9.5 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 0.9 APG, 0.7 SPG, 0.3 BPG, 0.8 TOV, 42.2 FG%, 37.6 3P%, 79.9 FT%

One could argue Terrence Ross never lived up to his full potential with the Raptors, due in part to his surroundings and due to his own doing.

With show-stopping athleticism and 37.1 percent conversion rate from deep for his career, Ross could’ve been a key piece for Toronto’s championship runs of recent years.

Ross never became that, instead, becoming an inconsistent question mark from night to night, capable of greatness but often falling short.

Part of that was playing next to ball-dominant players in Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan, but Ross never really earned the right to take the ball from the two All-Stars.

However, there was one night in January 2014, where Ross had the game of his life, scoring 51 against the Los Angeles Clippers with 10 3-pointers, tying what was then a franchise record for most points in a game set by Vince Carter in 2000.

Ross’s other notable moment of fame came in 2013, where he won the Slam Dunk Contest, linking himself to Carter once again as the only Raptor to ever take home that trophy.

His numbers won’t get him grouped with the All-Stars of his era, but it only takes one or two moments to make a name for one’s self one an NBA fanbase.

Safe to say, Ross did plenty to make sure Raptors fans remember him for a long time.
