ok well looking at darko's magic stats last season he averaged 7.6 pts, 4.1 rebounds, and 2.07 blocks, he should be looking at a great season this year take those stats and multiply them by 0.75 because im figuring he'll be playing 35 minutes which is 75% more than with the magic last season (20 mpg) and you get 13.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, and 3.6 blocks now add some experience witht he magic and some drive for a new contract and we could be looking at somwhere between 14-16 points, 8-9 boards and 3-4 blocks per game...those are ben wallace stats, i mean ben doesnt get nealry as many points and darko gets like 3 boards less than ben but thats why we have dwight, and the 3-4 blocks per game, yeah thats more than ben...so if these stats hold up then we could be looking at 2 all-stars this year or 2 or 3 possibly next year...most improved player is without a question for darko if these stats are true ELABORATE!
I don't think he will put up that good of points. He will look better, but he knows he is going to be more of a defensive threat and 4th option this year. Dwight, Jameer, and Hedo should all put up higher point totals then they did last year, which won't let him go up too far. I see him being a solid 12 8 and 2.5 guy this year, but he will continue to improve playing alongside Dwight and I think he could eventually be an all-star, which would be scary alongside Dwight. We should have the best frontcourt in the NBA in 2-3 years.
In Steve Kerr's column on Yahoo, he questioned whether or not Darko could become a top center. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">5. Can Darko become a top NBA center? Darko Milicic finally got his chance when the Detroit Pistons traded him to the Orlando Magic in midseason, and he responded with a solid 30-game stretch. (He averaged about eight points, four rebounds and two blocks). This is the time for him to truly take off, and if he does, Orlando will boast an imposing duo on the front line with Darko and Dwight Howard. Both Orlando big men should benefit from the arrival of J.J. Redick, who will improve the team's perimeter shooting, stretch defenses and allow more room to roam in the paint. But Milicic has to be more confident in his own game, particularly on the low block. He can knock down the face-up jumper, but if he becomes more consistent with his post game and finishing around the hoop, the 21-year-old will take the next step. And so will Orlando.</div> Source
Darko will most likely avg. 10/8/2 per game. The man isn't going to avg. 4bpg that's ridiculous. What stats do you predict for Dwight Howard this season?? I'm looking at 17/12/2
