Ross is having a renaissance season with the Magic, posting career-highs in scoring (14.6), made threes per game (2.5) and assists (3.5). He’s provided for Orlando what they’ve lacked for years — a consistent bench scorer. Along with Nikola Vucevic, who’s proving he wants to be paid a large sum of money this upcoming free-agency, the two have combined with Aaron Gordon to create a formidable three-pronged scoring attack for the once laughing stock team.
