Ross is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Four Hurricanes players scored in double figures. At the losing side American power forward Daniel Estes (198-1996, college: Bethesda) responded with a double-double by scoring 19 points and 10 rebounds and the other American import swingman Nigel Jones (201-1990, college: Talladega) scored 9 points and 7 rebounds.
