Terrance Ross, Toronto Raptors

Another intriguing name that has been in and out of the rumor mill, Ross would be able to boost the Cavs bench in a number of different ways.

Ross has the ability to shoot the long-ball, as he is connecting at a 35.2% clip from downtown this season, which isn’t a great percentage but it is one that at least demands some defensive attention. On catch and shoot attempts, Ross shoots 38.8% from three-point range, so he can definitely hit the shot the Cavs need him to.

What makes Ross so interesting though is his athleticism allows him to put the ball on the floor and attack the basket. This element of Ross’ game would give Cleveland yet another weapon on the offensive end that the defense needs to respect.

On defense, Ross is a gem, as opponents are shooting just 34.5% from the field, which is 8.0% below their season average. The Raptors defense is 4.3 points per 100 possessions better with Ross on the floor, so as a shooter, driver and defender, Ross would be a perfect fit in Cleveland.
