Re: It's been a week

Darko has been fabulous. Straight up. Much better off the bat than I expected him to be. He has made very few mistakes and the mistakes he has made, IMO, have been mistakes of over-effort ... like trying to block too many shots or coming way too far out when stepping out on pick and rolls.

Him and Dwight haven't played too much on the court together so far (Darko is usually with Garrity or Battie) but when they have been on the court together they've looked real nice.

After 4 games there is little doubt in my mind Darko is already a top 5 defensive big in the NBA. I'm quite frankly shocked at why he wasn't playing Detroit. At first his rebounding looked weak but he has picked that up the last couple. I'm not spotting a whole lot of weaknesses. We're talking about a 7'1" kid who had no problem manning up on Lamar Odom the other night ... I'm ecstatic about the addition of Darko. In fact, I find myself hoping Battie gets into foul trouble just so he gets more PT.
