Ronny Turiaf - PF

 Ronny Turiaf
 Position: Power Forward
 School: Gonzaga
 Conference: West Coast
 Height, Weight: 6'10, 250
 Selected by: Los Angeles Lakers
 Round 2, pick 7 (37 overall)
BIO: Withdrew from the 2004 NBA draft at the deadline and returned to Gonzaga for his senior season. Turiaf is considered stronger on the glass and more potent in the post than a year ago, and should be a late first-round pick. Averaged 16.1 points and 9.3 rebounds, was the West Coast Conference Player of the Year, and led Gonzaga to a No. 10 ranking in the final AP poll. Strong, holds his position on the block well and uses an aggressive streak to draw fouls and rebound. Good shot-blocker, averaged 1.9 per game as a senior. Must develop his repertoire on offense. Gets most of his points at the foul line, and struggles to finish around the basket. Doesn't have a polished post-up move. Despite being an active player, has not been a good offensive rebounder. Struggles with inconsistency and has yet to live up to his potential.
