Sweet news. He's a baller.

Figured he would. It's going to be nice to see him not torching Oregon anymore.

Always liked Ross. Unlike a lot of tools that UW has produced (Appleby, Gary Coleman Jr, Spencer Hawes), Ross seems like a good guy. Always seemed to be pretty humble and played within Romar's system. I think he'll be a very good NBA player.

I just on ESPN that Tony Wroten is declaring for the draft too.

Interesting. Does he play SG in the NBA? He has no shot, and frankly is not very strong. He is quick and drives well, but he can't even hit his FTs.

PG? Dude turns it over more than he dishes out dimes.

Am I the only one that thinks he'd benefit substantially from another year or two of college?

He really could have benefited from another year. Right now, I see him as sort of a Maurice Williams, but without a consistent jumper.

he'll be a point guard. he'll learn to shoot.

Wroten is a major project. He can't shoot, can't shoot free throws, turns the ball over too much, and isn't a great defender (even though he gets a lot of steals). Definitely could have used another year, but he always seemed like a 1 and done type. Not the sharpest tool in the shed either.

I think Ross is a far bigger loss for Washington than Wroten. Abdul Gaddy played pretty well towards the end of the season for them.

Ross has some serious NBA potential. I wouldn't mind Blazers even taking a look.

Wroten shoots just fine, though he needs to work on his 3 pt shooting he can get the the rim at will. Also his FT shooting is fine, yes they lost to OS because he missed 4 strait down the stretch but he was 9-10 up to that point. Don't buy all the doog hate towards him, with a good coach he could be dominant. And guess what the NBA drafts on potential more than any other sport, and he has a ton of upside.

I don't recall who it was that was ranking him, but the snippet said that Wroten was the #19 ranked prospect.

Huh? He's a 58% free throw shooter. That's terrible for a PG. He's a very talented kid. Offensively, he's a great finisher. The form on his midrange jumper is nice, but he's very inconsistent. He'll definitely improve there, but like Andre Miller, I'm not convinced that he'll ever be an effective 3 point shooter. If he can cut down on his turnovers, improve his free throw shooting, be more consistent from midrange, and consistently play harder on defense, then he'll be an all star.

Wroten has a lot more question marks than Ross.

Wroten is garbage at the FT line and behind the arc.
