Hey i think flip should play darko more even a few minutes in the end of the quarter is good. i think the point is to keep this man running up and down the court and let him get used to the nba game like how they did with yao. Yao of course got used to it and became a solid center if darko gets those few minutes at end of quarters like 6minutes each game he would be a better player and able to atleast contribute.
Darko is unfortunate because they team he's on doesn't produce a lot of garbage time. If the Pistons scored more rather than limiting the other team's scoring there would be more blow outs and Darko would get more minutes. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him play more, along with Arroyo and Dice, once they clench the division.

Yao Ming is a completely different story. He was the Rockets top center and was forced into the starting lineup early. The Pistons on the other hand, have five talented big men who could are all capable of starting on other teams in Ben Wallace, Rasheed Wallace, Antonio McDyess, Dale Davis and of course, Darko Milicic. Both Wallaces are the obvious starters and Mcdyess and Davis come off the bench at the 4 and 5. This leaves little time for Darko who just happends to be on the wrong team and in the wrong lineup.
