I think TRoss will be able to contribute right away, i think he will finish somewhere around 11ppg, 5rpg, 2apg, 2spg in his rookie season where as Big V will finish around 8ppg, 10rpg, 2apg, 1spg, 2bpg but both will be considered in the rookie vs sophomore game but i suspect Big V will be in it as opposed to Ross, there are other guards and SF who will edge Ross out of this year's game.

From what I've seen so far, valanciunas gets into more foul trouble than Amir, that could severely cripple his minutes going forward. Ross will be fighting minutes with Demar so he'll have fewer minutes to begin with. That being said I think Ross will have an immediate impact but valanciunas could grow to be our franchise player.

no source for the quote...I just put it out myself putting my neck on the line by saying he will have a breakout year.
This year will be far better for Demar as compared to his past years in the NBA. better stats overall.

I really believe the biggest impact will be Big V. Just because of his ability as a defensive anchor. He's a mobile and athletic big who can run with the best, great leaping ability, good help defense awareness, and very good rebounding. The guy has a strong motor just as Terrence Ross, but I feel Jonas has the edge in terms of his athletic ability at that size.Twitter: @ReubenJRD • NBA, Raptors writer for Daily Hive Vancouver, Toronto.

Its tough call here....I see TROSS at first and that only because I havent seen any action BIGV in action and no very little about him. After reading all the comments here....I can see that this can go either way.
The openning game of the season....VERY MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO IT.It's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

I've heard of TRoss comparisons to Eddie Jones, Jason Richardson and others etc.
Any comparisons here for JV? Any similar trajactory to other playersIt's just a job. Grass grows, birds fly, waves pound the sand. I beat people up.

Despite the Big-man adjustment period. I think Jonas will be all set to come in and play decently. He's gonna foul a lot but that's a part of learning the game.
I say Jonas because he'll likely play more minutes than Ross this year. The Terrossic period starts when Derozan gets shipped for someone.

Oh, and I think JV will have the most positive impact over Ross because he addresses a need much more than Ross. Ross may be a good shooter, but he doesn't bring enough to ensure he'll get minutes over Demar, Fields and Kleiza, not to mention what are sure to be very occasional small lineups with Lowry and Calderon. JV is pretty much guaranteed 20 or so minutes a night if he doesn't foul.

As the day progresses...the balance is moving towards JV over ROSS.
I hope that both JV and Ross have enough of a positive impact that we regain our Vince Era glamour in addition to our new players... Can't wait for the starting tipoff of the Season.

Neither of them will be the superstar VC was and neither will sell tickets on the road or make the Raptors relevant to the casual American basketball fan like he did in his electrifying prime. Though that shouldn't be what anyone is aiming for....I just saw VC era glamour and had to comment. I'll take his 2nd round playoffs glamour though (though first round playoff glamour is pretty much the best case scenario).Two beer away from being two beers away.
