Darko makes his Magic debut tonight against the only player drafted ahead of him in 2003, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Will Darko start? Will he get big minutes? What numbers will he put up? I think he will come off the bench and get anywhere from 10-20 minutes just because he hasn't had much time to learn the offense and will be adjusting to his new role. I think he will score 4 points and grab 3 rebounds in his short time on the court. His offense will look very raw but he will make a couple of good defensive plays. What do you guys think?
I see Darko coming off the bench, getting about 15-20 minutes, and collecting maybe 6 points and 4 rebounds with maybe a block or two. I don't think anyone is expecting anything like 11 points and 8 rebounds, at least not yet, so I don't think he'll dissapoint. Can't wait to see how he does.
The #2 pick versus the #1 pick! Darko might see 10 to 12 minutes tonight, because the Cleveland frontcourt has a lot of height. My prediction is 5 points 3 rebounds 2 blocks.
Darko just scored his first basket ever as a Magic player! He made a reverse layup over Big Z with 6:40 left on the clock in the 2nd quarter. I'm very proud of the big guy and he has been playing good on both ends of the court so far.

man darko shaved his head!!!! he also had a nice reverse lay up assist to stevenson i think plus on defence his mobility is very good i expected him to be slower but his mobility i believe can match up with the elite pfs in league or even surpass aka on level wit kg dirk paul and tim those guyz. Looks good
I'm surprized arroyo hasn't played yet hopefully he will get some of Doolings minutes in the second half
Arroyo still hasn't played through 3 quarters and Darko hasn't come back in other than his 3:43 in the 2nd quarter.
Dont be surprised if Darko starts tearing it up in a few weeks. And becomes my favorite player lol, I've liked him since he got drafted.
This is one of the reason's I'm not a big Brian Hill fan, Why is he playing Kasun and not Darko. Arroyo Should be in instead of dooling also.
Arroyo is running the offense like he has been here all year, he should have been in a long time ago though. The lead is only 7 who knows...........
kasun noes the system better? umm but after watchin i feel darko has a great opurtunitity to suceed and i think he will start tearing it up in the next few month not neccesarily dominate but push himself to another level
We would've won if Carlos Arroyo played more than 5 minutes. He is going to speed up the development of Dwight Howard.

Hire someone who knows who to put in and when this rotation is not working so fix it. Carlos is crazy good at passing he seems to be the only one getting the drive and PASS TO DWIGHT plain that no one has seemed to get besides Nelson. Darko showed hes tall and confused on our offense but one practice he showed he like playing basketball when times I watched the pistons play he seemed out of it. Stevenson was making good passes and Turk good shots but please Francis you cannot save us goto the Knicks where you can play the style you always play: Reckless out of control basketball.(not bashing the Knicks but it seems that Francis is not fitting with a team here and needs to be "the man" no 2nd in command).
