Everyone is pointing him to going.
I see both sides. I know a lot of people don't think he will make the NBA but would another year make him a NBA player?
Did one more year make William Buford? Would one more year have made Thomas?
tax free 100,000+, free house, free car, play basketball everyday, don't have to go to class, etc. That is a lot. Ross has wanted to get paid since day 1, it was no secret. It was well known when he got here, good luck to him. Wish it would have been better at tOSU but he was big for us this year. He helped us make a Elite 8 run last year. At least he gave us a little bit.

Evan Turner came back and became a lottery pick. Coming back could benefit him greatly. He has physical skills and attributes that Thomas and Buford did not.
I could agree with you, but I would be wrong too. How is that going to help anyone?

After that last game on the big stage he whiffed...looked lost, confused and was mediocre at best. I would really have to second guess watching the nba again if he goes first round. I don't see it...

He has good size but that is it. He is more like Buford/Thomas with a little bit better size than them.
- He is lazy. - He sucks at defense - He can't dribble - He can't pass - He can't run the offense
And I doubt he improves any of that. If Ross could come back and play the PG position like Turner could, and run the offense, then year coming back would be huge for his draft potential. I doubt that happens.
That said I would welcome him back because he can score. He might be able to improve his draft stock a little bit but I doubt it, how many 4th year seniors do that?
In fact, the same thing being said about why Ross coming back, and the same thing people said why Buford should come back his Senior season and you see what that did for him.............undrafted instead.

He could improve in college and it's not like he is a big man that faces serious injury because of his abnormal size. His chances of getting better are much higher in college than riding the pine in the pros.

Meh, that's debatable. I actually think big men benefit from college coaching way more than wings. The extra year in college also hurts your value unless you're absolutely elite. It has even likely cost Marcus Smart some money and he's still pretty much the same good player that he was.

Ross is projected as a late second rounder. I don't think it is costing him all that much especially given the perception of how deep this draft is.

Everyone said William Buford was a late first/early 2nd after his 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year. Said he should come back to be a lottery pick. Where did that get him? Undrafted.
We're not in Ross situation. He has a kid. Some people just don't like college. NO more test, no more projects, no more etc. Don't have to deal with that anymore. Ross came in as a kid that would leave for the NBA when he had his chance. Surprise he didn't go last year. He came back though TO IMPROVE HIS draft stock. How did that work out for him? Nothing.
Some guys are who they are. Ross is Ross. He probably peak. He can come back and enjoy one more year of college and be the same prospect or he can go play for $$$ in Europe/try to make the NBA. Up to him.
What does Ross have to gain? Even if he averages 20PPG next year, where does that project him? DeShaun Thomas level? Is he going to improve his handles that much in one year? Is he going to get that much stronger in one year? Most likely not.
Ross already came back once and didn't improve his draft stock one bit. Probably will be the same again if he comes back one more time...
