Top 10 Busts – Darko leads

NBA Obsessed takes you into the hit and run game of NBA Basketball.
Need we even go through the list of Top 10 busts in the lottery for the National Basketball Association? All of you know where it leads, because all roads lead to Darko. That is truly a shame. Darko seemed to have it all. He was young, not even 18 when everyone was talking about him. He was tall, over 7 foot. He was athletic and could easily dunk the ball. Darko Milicic even appeared to have moves.
He’s the total package. His name eases right into the lame jokes (”you could get yourself another Dar-ko Milicic; you know what I mean? This guy knows what I’m talking about!”), he’s been an underachieving flameout, he only rose to prominence by taking advantage of well-sourced but not entirely basketball-savvy (at least, then) hoops scribes who were smitten by his ability to spin and dunk in an empty gym.

Joe Dumars could not pass him up. Who could? Those that talk about taking Carmelo Anthony forget that Anthony came out of a college system where they played strictly zone defense and to this day he shoots too much and can’t guard my grandmother. Those that say Joe should have picked Chris Bosh forget that he was not that heralded coming out of college and those that say Joe should have picked Dwyane Wade forget that Wade came from Marquette and was a tweener height. You knew he could not be a true point guard and seemed a tad small for a shooting guard. Who knew?
Topping the Top 10 Lottery Busts - Darko Milicic
There is no question now that Wade, Bosh, and Anthony are all great players, but Darko is nothing but a bust. Just take a look in the mirror before you blame Joe Dumars.
