What is Darko Milicics future with the team?
The selection of Darko with the No. 2 pick in the 2003 draft began to look better as the postseason went on, not because of anything he did, but because the mature play of Tayshaun Prince seemed to mitigate the need for having a scorer such as Carmelo Anthony, whom Denver took with the No. 3 overallpick last year. But hear this and hear it well: Milicic is a BIG part of the Pistons’ future. While some in the organization believe Larry Brown should’ve played him more this season, it’s hard to argue with the results Brown got with the lineup he did play. But the team likes Milicicand his minutes will increase next year. This is a guy, remember, who should be in high school. He’s younger than either LeBron James or Anthony. Detroit loves his size, his athletic ability, his willingness to work and the way he handled his nearly inert status this season.
