Those numbers for 36 mins a game are most likely for a half court offense, imagine if he gets around those minutes for D'Antoni, with the offense he runs, Darko is hopefully going to prove a lot of people who thought he was a bust wrong. Plus he came from overseas, it takes some longer than others to adjust to the NBA. Look at Turkoglu when he got the minutes he produced and stepped up. I just hope it's the same with Darko. Even if he can be a Tyson Chandler type player who rebounds, defends, and score around 10-12 points a game would be a great deal for us.

I agree, I think this is exactly what Darko needs. A coach like D'antoni will hopefully let him flourish. I'd much rather have Darko starting than Curry, even if he gets into the best shape of his life. Darko's defense, rebounding, and jump shooting is much more valuable than Curry's post scoring (which ruins offensive chemistry because he's a terrible passer and everyone else on the team just stands around watching Curry as he gets a turnover).

The biggest stat that stands out to me is the blocks. Even if he doesnt make a huge splash his first season with the Knicks, at least we could get two blocks per game out of him. We need defense at the center position more than anything. Last year there was no inside presence so guards had a field day breaking down their guard and running in the lane for dunks and layups. We lost so many games that way. If he could at least defensive presence he would be worth the pick up. Plus I do think Dantoni is the coach that could bring out the best in him.

I agree with JayJ...If we do end up playing Curry, we are going to have to run offense through him and if he is on the court he will not be able to keep up with all the up and down baskeball. Curry is not made for D'Antoni's style of play. I know Darko can keep up with this offense, there is just more upside to starting Darko than Curry that's it. I know we are trying to showcase Curry to trade him but honestly how much can he show in this style of play unless D'Antoni tweeks his plays to accommodate Curry which would lead to losses and i doubt D'Antoni's wants to hand wins to the opposing team.

Darko misses a lot of lays up, hook shots, and wide open 15-17 foot jumpshots from the pick and pop.

why?
the talent and ability is there, but not the skill.

Darko doesn't practice enough to have the skill mastered...Darko has the ability to be a Serbian Tim Duncan...but the work ethic is poor, Darko thought a productive NBA career would just be a walk in the park. He always has had a bad attitude...gives up very quickly too...man if he starts off poorly, don't expect to see him for the rest of the night. (This is my assessment from Darko from following Carlos Arroyo in Detroit and Orlando)

But hopefully that changes.

if he plays better in this system and starts i see 13ppg 9rb 2.3blk 3ast and candidate for most improved

Not to mention Mike Dantoni has said he has not been able to get him on the phone after calling him a few times, it would lead you to beleive that he is not taking his new venture all that seriously.

Look anyone has the potential to do well in Mike Dantoni's system because it lends itself to players with naturally basketball ability (Jerome James is the only player in the NBA lacking this) and there is no doubt Darko has skill, but like Metro pointed out, skill with no work ethic means diddly squat!

I would love for him to start to reach his potential and put up Bogut type numbers 12 pts, 11 rebs and a block.

i think that's a sentiment most here are hoping for.its pretty much all on him now.if he sucks here, he'll suck forever.

One problem. He has a worse work ethic than Curry.

#2

how the hell was Darko chosen as the #2 pick in the draft, if his potential is not to the fracking sky? seriously, this is the only situation (7 second offense) where the 7 foot Serb can possibly shine, you have to presume the man's going to try his best and put up some numbers! C'mon now!

Darko is a highly inconsistent player. He shows promise with his jump shot, but it never amounts to anything. He can contribute by blocking shots, but as a defender and rebounder he is on and off.

Hopefully D' Antoni's coaching can put him back on track.

Darko is gonna have the best season of his life here, he will get more minutes which means his stats can increase. But Darko is and always be a beast (Maybe not in the NBA, but look at his Serbian national stats and game footage) Now if he had the same mentality that he has playing for the Olympics, we would have possibly one of the best front courts in the Atlantic division. I have confidence, besides, he is only a 1 year rental

I have been following Darko since before he came to the NBA and really hope that this is the team and coach that will bring the real Darko out, and show everyone why Joe drafted him number 2.

Let`s hope he shines. god knows we need some presence in the middle.

Confirmed....

All of Curry's (starting training-camp) out of shape has produce twice a better performance than Darko.
So I would take my chances on Curry starting the first 5 to 7 minutes a game with rebounding PF-Lee, and using Darko in a 2nd unit of players (5 of the same exact players) so they can adapt to each others talents to become a forceful threat on offense or defense.
We do need to trade for a veteran PF that can play the center position too. Nazr or Kurt Thomas would be fine to help the development of rookie Hill.

he has great defense stats

i dont see him being an offensive threat tho, ever

he should strictly be used for defense and ONLY passed to if completely open

curry will prolly get 18 mpg, darko 14, hill 14

I dont know about you guys, but i would love to see Darko have a year like how Chris Andersen had last year. Blocking everything and pumping the crowd up.
