http://www.realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/55870/20081208/warriors_make_turiaf_a_co_captain/ I'm glad Ronny has found a place and role in GS. Us Laker fans really miss him. How do you guys like him so far?
I like him a lot, hes a quality backup big man the likes of which few teams can say they have. He does have his flaws but his services as a bulky, energetic, competent backup C/part time PF were sorely needed here in GS.
Good for Turiaf. He's probably the only guy on this team that plays like a vet aside from Jax and Beans.
LOL. I loved predator. Hard to imagine two state governors came from that movie. I love Turiaf. Despite his limitations, he's easily our 2nd best big men, and probably 3rd or 4th best overall veteran because of his productivity as an individual and how he makes the team better defensively. I liked the signing from the beginning. What I'm really disappointed in is how Mags is working out for GS. I think Mags can be redeemed if he's used strictly for softening up opposing defenses and by playing SF or SG, not PF. Anyone who thinks he can play PF is delusional. What you get from him is Murphy-syndrome. We've had a lot of problems setting the tone at the big positions and using Mags at big positions will get us killed. He's too small, too soft, and lacks the elements that effective ex-warrior big men like Clifford Robinson / Zarko Cabarkapa bring to the table. (They actually pass, despite being sucky rebounders, and Clif actually plays post D and was semi-clutch)
