What is up with him? Is he still injured?
He displayed some near starting caliber play earlier in the season and ever since he got injured he's been playing like a scrub.
I mean, it's not like I expect the world from him but being perhaps a decent rotation player is all I ask however right now...he isn't even that.
Lately he's been nothing more than a 3rd stringer in terms of both minutes and production, maybe those two are mutually related but I'm not liking what I'm seeing.
I'd honestly rather play Turiaf to get him back in the groove than Luke.
Here's the catch though, Odom works much better at the PF with Luke at the SF..and that unfortunately happens at the expense of Ronny.
Since Luke is a liability, something will need to get done about that.

I think thats pretty much it. Odom was really bad at the SF spot, and a line up of Odom and Turiaf is much worse than Luke and Odom because of that. As far as Luke and our SF spot goes, I would really like to see Ariza in there, but Phil is stubborn about things like that. Remember how long it took him to bench Smush? And I dont think he even liked the guy. |

| I was gonna make a thread about this too, Maybe cause he's playing center instead of PF? But his energy level doesn't seem high like it used too be |

Never been the same since punk as! Barnes had to level him dirty style.
I know Cardom you come at me with the UCLA stuff. Believe me it is not that. Barnes did him wrong with the concussion and Ronny hasn't recovered yet. Barnes is straight up trash.Kobe got hurt there also with Ellis,Davis,Jackson,and Harrington practically murdering him dry.
Kobe and Ronny need to shake off the aftermath of the Bay Area beatdown |

I never liked Barnes. In fact, I don't like quite a few players who came out of UCLA, but the same goes for other programs too.
As far as Ronny goes, I've made the point earlier that I feel bad for Ronny having to practice every day with Jordan Farmar who sunk Gonzaga single-handedly when he stole the ball from Batista and fed Mbah a Moute for the winning layup two years ago. |
