Even if he develops a certain awareness, he still needs to learn to dribble. Then he'll still be undersized. If I were the organization, I wouldn't spend my development dollars on him as there's limited upside. Can't be swayed by the big dunks. For his position and reasonable upside, spending development time for Val is much better.

I feel that Ross has to be one key piece Masai is dangling in all trade talks, and I agree that its time to sell on him. If the Raptors want to have a hope in the playoffs outside of a LeBron/Irving injury, they need a better 4, and Ross will be needed to make a trade, both in terms of $$$ and return - maybe someone sees him as a guy who is one step away?
