Vs: Ronny Turiafin hustlaaminen - Myytti vai fakta?
Iskender sanoi:
Se oli vaan kökkö käännös jenkkitermistä. Kaikki kuitenkin taisivat tajuta, että tarkoitin Vladimir Radmanoviciä joka on 7 jalkaa pitkä ja ei osaa muuta kuin heittää.Lisätään.
Tarkoitit varmaankin sanoa, että "Radmanovic on kuuden jalan ja kymmenen tuuman heitto".
Tai ehkäpä mielipidettäsi Lakersin kalustosta kuvaisi sittenkin paremmin muoto: "Radmanovic on kaksi tuumaa vajaa seitsemän jalan heitto".
Muutenhan toi kuulostaa joltain myyttiseltä zen judo -liikkeeltä. "Seitsemän jalan heitto".
Ja ettei menisi ihan off-topikiksi, niin kysellään muidenkin mielipiteitä Ronny Turiaf hustlen tasosta:
[quote author=hamahakkimies http://www.koripallo.com/forum/index.php?topic=31082.msg466552#msg466552]Minun mielestäni
Ronny Turiaf on eri kova hustlaamaan.[/quote]
[quote author=Ronny Turiaf http://www.nba.com/celtics/roster/05Workouts_RTuriaf.html]I would bring some energy, because that�s what I have. Whenever I get on the court I just give my all to a team. As far as basketball goes, I am good on the block, shooting jumpers from 15-17 feet, playing with my back to the basket, rebounding the ball, blocking shots, and being a hustle-guy.
I have no problem saying Ronny Turiaf is a hustle guy. Anytime I step on the court, I am going to give 125% for my team.[/quote]
[quote author= Phil Jackson http://www.nba.com/lakers/news/07position_powerforward.html]
Coach Jackson praised Turiaf for his energy and hustle during training camp this year, even predicting that the forward may end up starting at the four spot for the Lakers, with Odom moving to small forward.[/quote]
[quote author=FreeDarko http://freedarko.blogspot.com/2007/11/we-dance-to-all-wrong-songs.html]In serious need of breaking into that canon is the mythical beast that is Ronny Turiaf. During his first year and a half in the league, he perfected the role of the bench cheerleader.
Now, in just his second full season, this is the year he makes the leap from local fan favorite to league-wide cult hero while revolutionizing what a "hustle player" should be.[/quote]
[quote author=DraftExpress, 2005, http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Ronny-Turiaf-61/]Strengths: ... Turiaf is blessed with a fire for the game, and seems genuinely eager to knock people around down low. Given his impressive frame and strength, this allows Turiaf to dominate doing the little things. He is an incredible offensive rebounder, a first-rate post defender, and an enthusiastic shot blocker. He gets good position in the low blocks on offense, and when he wants to hold his ground on defense, he might as well be a 7-foot block of granite.
He might not look like a guy that can get up and block a lot of shots, but he has great anticipation, and that unexpected burst in his legs. Where other players tire, Turiaf keeps coming at you. Eventually, he will start winning the battle around the basket. In this way, Rony Turiaf is very reminiscent of your classic enforcer PF, of which we seem to be seeing fewer and fewer these days.
Weaknesses: ... The other major weakness in Turiaf's game comes from that natural ferocity that makes him such a good prospect.
It becomes a weakness when you start to see the overeager tendencies in his game. While Turiaf has the physical aspect of defense down quite well, he still routinely bites on pump fakes, leaving the basket exposed. This also leads to quick fouls, and Turiaf is almost always in foul trouble. Even after four years of college, he still hardly manages to average 30 minutes per game. While you can never fault a player for being aggressive, Turiaf will have to learn to reign in that fire just a little bit.
Comments: Turiaf has been in the spotlight for quite some time, but there are some misconceptions about his game that must be cleared up.
- Turiaf is not the fundamentally sound, back-to-the-basket scorer that some have him hyped up as. His back-to-the-basket game is actually quite raw, and he lacks touch on his shot.
- However, Turiaf does excel as an "enforcer" type PF, willing to beat people up and wear people down in the post. His rebounding, shotblocking, physical post defense, and
motor that doesn't turn off is what makes him a successful draft prospect.
- It should be noted that Etan Thomas isn't exactly an accurate "worst case" for Turiaf. The two are very similar players, though I believe Turiaf has more upside.
