Let's have closer look into His outlook:
(by Matthew Maurer for NBADraft.net in 2007)
Terry has a good amount of quickness to create separation from his defender. Athletically he is among the elite level athletes at his position in the college game. Physically he has all the tools one looks for in a defender. Long arms, quickness, and size Underrated ball handler who can take opposing players off the dribble. Great help defender who gets a number of shot blocks by rotating over.
Has always been a bit of an inconsistent player who goes through periods of streaky play. Has a tendency to gamble too much on steals which can leave him out of position giving his man the open look.
