Honestly right now the goal for Ross should be to become a more athletic version of Martell Webster/Wesley Matthews. I'd be ecstatic with that. Hit the 3 at a 40%+ clip, lock down your man defensively, grab 5 boards, and occasionally explode for 20+ points, but consistently give your team an efficient 10-15 points a night.
Part of the reason why basically every player who joins the Spurs plays better is because they put them in perfect roles. Do you see the Spurs asking Kawhi Leonard to create for himself? No. They realize he has limited range so they tell him to camp out in the corners and use his athleticism to cut to the rim for easy baskets or offensive rebounds, as well as play excellent defense. That is how you maximize your players' talents.
I'm sure if a team with better player development had taken Andrea, he would've developed into one of the best stretch 4s in the NBA. The problem arises when you try to take a SF/PF, tell him to bulk up and play him completely out of position (at center).
