Ronny, underrated guy

L.A. has a ridiculously deep and productive bench, but the one member of the group who gets fairly little attention is Turiaf. Yes, he can't shoot, he's a below-average rebounder and he seemingly fouls on every play. But despite those shortcomings, he's a very productive player.

Turiaf isn't a refined post player but can pile up points on garbage baskets because he runs the floor and never stops moving -- he is scoring 15.5 points per 40 minutes on 50.6 percent shooting this season. The hyperactivity also helps on D, where he posts over a block a game in just 17.3 minutes of action.

With Andrew Bynum and Chris Mihm out, Turiaf is getting a much bigger opportunity to showcase his skills, and he could become important come playoff time. Even if he doesn't, he's a restricted free agent after the season who could prove tempting to teams with holes in the frontcourt.
