yeah.he is 10 times better tham our big guys together.(elson + oberto)he has a good mid-range shot too.
I was wondering if a guy like Darko Milicic could fit in our squad...
yeah.he is 10 times better tham our big guys together.(elson + oberto)he has a good mid-range shot too.
Jesus ing Christ man.
We can only offer him the MCE. He turned down Orlando's offer of an extension last summer for much more than that. Unless he turns them down again this summer and accepts their year 5 qualifying offer to become an UFA in '08, I'd say we have about a zero shot at Darko.
Darko would be a huge upgrade vs our current bigs.
You guys don't need another soft center.
yeah soft but the guy's young and skillfull... He'll develop into a really interesting center in the years to come, Pop knows how to do with young talented guys from europe. it'd be a great addition for the spurs...
No soft centers. I was watching Orlando last night and Darko had a chance at a dunk and instead shot a 3 ft. bank shot that missed. He did not attack the rim.
He has been an over rated bust. How many more years will it take for this guy to be good enough to get starters minutes?
a coach like Pop can help this guy being an Allstar caliber player... it's all about mental with this player
I remember a guy with similar qualities. Yeah, he was soft, but he was young and skillful. He was from Europe. Unfortunately, he stayed soft, and those skills never developed. Did you know that Rasho used to be able to hit a 15ft with consistancy?
yeah but rasho is rasho and darko is darko... yes you have european centers who finally failed to become good NBA players but i don't see your point, it's not because rasho failed that darko won't make it
give him the good coach and some more time (just one or two seasons)
you can't coach softness out of a player, ask Beno
Meaning no Pop. Pop is not able to develop young player (and please, do not mention Parker, Pop wanted Kidd in first place)
Darko is a lot of bad things but I never thought he was soft.
He'd certainly give you a combination of quickness, length, and strength in the middle you haven't had since before David Robinson's injury.
I agree.The kid is only what? 23?
he can get better and stronger.remember Yao in his first two or three seasons?????
Darko is 21. He will turn 22 this summer.
CRAP!!He is mad young!!!bring him in!!!
Talking about young european center.... Petro from Seatle is 19 years. Has anyone seen him playing this season?
Lets not get carried away with comparing him to D Robinson. These two should not even be mentioned in the same sentence.
I don't see Darko as quick or strong in the middle. He does not look like a strong defensive low post player.
you are right ,but if you compare a young center as,Yao when he first came in, and the Yao from now,there´s big deference.he´s got time on his side,something that most of the spurs don´t have any more
I didn't compare him to Robinson. I said that he's a better athlete than any Spur big man since Robinson. If you want to compare Darko to D-Rob, yes, he also possesses many of the skills that Robinson had, but it's highly unlikely that he'll ever have the mental discipline to use them consistently.
He was an excellent defensive pivot with the Pistons and a truly outstanding shotblocker.
As I said, he's mentally weak, but I wouldn't consider him soft.
there is my kid -PIetro- that is only 13.
Won't come over there for less than 2 Millions.
Euros, of course.
Give Milicic to Pop and he'll be an all star in 3 years.
