Terrence Ross still needed to introduce himself to Orlando Magic fans.
Fans liked him plenty from his half season with the team following the Serge Ibaka trade in February 2017. It was a taste of who he was and what he could be. His summer workouts and drive began endearing him to fans.
But his first full season with the Magic was largely a lost one. The team did not get to see him at his best. He suffered a nearly season-ending injury around Thanksgiving.
To that point, he had struggled to shoot while playing a starter role.
