The Orlando Magic got more than they could have expected from Terrence Ross. In 2020, Ross has to answer the biggest question: Can he do it again?

Nobody really knew what they had in Terrence Ross entering the 2019 season.

Orlando Magic fans already seemed to like Terrence Ross as a person — he shared his love of Marvel films and his family life on social media — but his value seemed to derive from the hope of what he could bring.

He was a selfless player, who was willing to come off the bench and then seemingly paid the price for his selflessness by suffering a nearly season-ending injury in November as part of a disastrous 2018 season.

Ross was the kind of easy shooter the Magic so desperately needed. It is so rare for a player that seemingly has this much hope delivers in almost every way.

Or even over-delivers.

From the very beginning of the season, Ross commanded attention. He delivered big moment after big moment and big shot after big shot.

Against the Philadelphia 76ers in October, Terrence Ross stole the show from Jimmy Butler’s debut with his new team — not to mention Jonathan Isaac erasing Joel Embiid’s shot at the rim. With the game tied, Ross ran a pick and roll and rose up quickly and fired a 3-pointer for the win. He turned toward the bench after Philadelphia called a timeout and slapped his legs, firing himself and the crowd up.

The Human Torch was just getting started.

He delivered his best and most consistent season of his career. He was a clear candidate for Sixth Man of the Year, averaging 15.1 points per game, making 38.3 percent of his 3-pointers.

His impact was so much greater than his stat lines too.

He would come in and change games with his ability to score points in a hurry. As part of the Magic’s bench, he was the guy they ran almost all their offense through. He created a gravity as defenses had to scramble to put pressure on him as he darted around screens and scored seemingly quickly.

Ross was everything everyone has always imagined for him. He scored 30 or more points in a game for just the second time in his career and then did it several more times. He was not the fluky player that dropped 50 on a random night as a second-year player. He was a reliable scorer.

Him going cold, as he did sometimes, cost the team several games. And, indeed, Ross was a key part of the Toronto Raptors gameplan in the playoff. Ross averaged only 13.2 points per game and shot 37.0 percent from the field. And even then, he hit a hot streak and nearly helped Orlando win Game 3.

It was by far Ross’ best season of his career. The question is how does he do it again? Can he do it again and provide the same kind of spark and consistency as one of the best Sixth Men in the entire league?

The Magic rewarded Ross with a four-year, $54-million deal. He earned that with his performance last year and his potential throughout his career. But Ross will have to run it back for the Magic to make it worth it.
