<div class="quote_poster">Quoting GatorsowntheSEC:</div><div class="quote_post">I don't know man. They were talking about the Darko trade and Dwight during the Rookie/Soph game and they said that Sheed had a lot of good stuff to say about him including calling him the Serbian gangsta. I forgot the specifics, but he said that he has a lot of talent and could do good on this level if given the chance. DARKO HAS AVERAGED 5.6 MINUTES. Do you really expect him to avg 4.1 pts in 5.6 minutes? How many of his 553 minutes have you seen? I'll be honest, I haven't seen any. I'm gonna wait and judge myself when I finally get to see him play. I hope we give him 10-15 mins at least the 1st couple of games, then start expanding him until hopefully 25-30 mins in the last 10 games(we are basically tanking now anyway). 8 and 6 isn't that hard to get, especially playing alongside Dwight. Battie doesn't really have that much skill at all(but he hustles all over the place which makes him an effective player. I do like Battie) and he puts up 8 and 6 and gets some monster games with guys leaving him wide open as they double Dwight or getting easy boards as 2 guys try to box out Dwight, etc.</div> Theres a reason he got 5.6 Minutes a game. It's because he blows. I can understand the Sheed and Ben Wallace getting minutes over him but McDyess too? I'd think that a player chosen 2nd overall in his third NBA season would be better than a guy who gets 7 PPG and 5 RPG a game. Dal Davis getting minutes over him? The 90 year old guy? First of all Dale Davis gets less minutes than Darko and doesn't even average a point a game. Darko also looks like he could play the other Forward spot. If we didn't see any of Darkos potential under FLip I really don't know about this kid.
