He's a solid backup center in the NBA but that's all he will ever be. On a team with "The Big 3", the production they get from that position is the least of their worries. A guy like Joel Anthony who can defend, block and alter shots around the rim is the perfect complement to those 3. Let Turiaf be a spark plug off the bench who can bring energy, rebounding and hustle in a reserve role. It doesn't really matter if he starts or not.  The Heat will be successful regardless of whether or not Anthony or Turiaf start at center.  I think calling a healthy Ronny Turiaf a “force” is a bit of an overstatement.
