I liken basketball to football thru this comparison:
1. In football, some RB just need 20+ runs to break 100 yards; others can do it in 13 runs
2. in basketball, some players need 20 minutes+ of play to break 10 pts or 10 rebounds; others can do it in 13 minutes.

Ross is a 20+ minutes guy who unless he gets that, is not going to have a good box score game. He has already shown with those types of minutes he can be a + player. (UNH and UMES were the only games he had 20+ minutes and scored 10+ in both; in every other game he did not reach 10 pts) - I get those 2 teams were not exactly Gonzaga level, but from a numbers standpoint they work.

Stewart is less dependent on minutes - he had 16pts in 16 minutes vs Memphis, and 10pts in 19 minutes vs Gonzaga.

The kicker is that Ross is averaging more minutes than Stewart per game (largely on the proclaimed defensive skills), but unless Ross gets to 20, he has not produced the numbers.
