Is Darko Milicic a Bust?

[clay]

seems this guy isnt gettign much playing time. I'm thinking if you are picked 2nd overall you should be starting either that or you stink. Whats up with this guy Detroit fans?

The team is good without him, they're already winning why mess up the chemestry. He has a lot of growing to do and was drafted more as a long term project.

And didn't we just have this conversation last week?

Come on now are you a B-ball fan do you understand how this works? He turned 18 in what July and hes on a winning team so they don't need him which = no playing time for Darko. Cant say hes a bust yet give him atleast 3 or 4 years then judge.

Larry brown said the kid was more interested in getting his drivers liscense than playing ball.

Darko embarrased hisself tonight with a missed DUNK, Larry Brown wouldnt have drafted this buster.

Darko aint a bust he is a never was and Detroit should have drafted Carmello or any of the top
10 picks over Darko.

Darko hasnt scored 1 point yet, has NO toughness in the paint and he cant jump over a QUARTER.

OKUR is their future not Darko and dont say give him 3 years because this team wont be together that
long, Detroit needs to win NOW.

I told all of you Darko lovers he was a buster when I saw him play on tape but you belived the hype
like DUMARS. Darko is out picking up rims for his truck and trying to be an extra for a 50 cent

One of the dumbest posts I have ever seen.

I wouldn't call him a bust but I would say that he's probably not being coached by the right guy. I don't want to make a big bruhaha over this but Larry Brown has consistently in his NBA coaching career (at least) to be more of a veteran's coach. He doesn't seem to want to get the young guys playing time even if they've played well enough to.

As for Darko and his abilities, he's only a kid and unlike some of the other recent European players doesn't have enough experience nor the full fundamentals for the game. This is why he's a long term prospect. If he can reach his potential he'll be a very good player in the Asociation.

I compare Darko more to the first crop of Euro players like Drazen Petrovic. Guys with lots of talent but it took them a couple or so years before they hit their stride. Darko has a strike against him in the fact that he's so young. We'll see what happens and I hope for the best.

The season started what .. last month, and he's a bust I could see if you were referring to Kwame or something, but man, let the guy get some playing time first before passing judgement.
