Earnest Ross brought two-way punch and veteran edge to Missouri
In the 2013-14 season, Earnest Ross was a high-motor Missouri guard who gave the Tigers reliable scoring, rebounding, and toughness, finishing with 14.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.3 steals per game while starting all 35 games. His differentiators were his physicality, willingness to attack, and ability to contribute beyond scoring—he was the SEC’s top scoring sixth man the prior season and later became a trusted starter for Mizzou. If a team wants a rugged, experienced guard who competes every possession and can chip in across the box score, Ross is the kind of glue guy coaches love.
