Secretly Space Jesus 670 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 I just saw this stat, and couldn't believe it. In the month of March, Darko is shooting 92.9% from the free throw line. Way to improve, Darko! Also, I did some math. If Dwight was shooting 75% from the line, instead of his current average, he'd be averaging an additional 1.3 points per game.

bhnole 153 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 He has looked much more confident and relaxed at the line, he always had great form. But was trying to hard before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jack daniel 999 27 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 Darko's game has been getting better... I hope he keeps it up... and we don't get rid of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emory889 353 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 It had to be mostly nerves with Darko. He still has a very nice stroke though he doesn't get to show it off very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It is for this reason we can't go wrong with keeping this kid, he just has to outlast BHill! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More skill than Pedro and thats saying something (for a guy who can make a cake)! Simple, Brian Hill yanked him out of the game everytime he took an outside shot. That part pisses me off, instead of coaching him to select his shots better. He cuts him off altogether from shooting outside. The main problem I saw was Darko was used to shooting from the International three point line. He needed to either step out to NBA three point line if he can hit from there or move in some to the top of key for an easier jumper. Horace Grant made a living hitting that shot playing alongside Shaq. Darko can do that and so much more with his ability to pass or put the ball on the floor.

nbr 15 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 This is a facet of the game that holds such value with big men and to not utilize this talent or work on it is foolish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MilitaryMagic 0 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 Darko is such a keeper it isn't funny. Nay I say, I'm proud of Darko for not sulking on the bench. It's like BHIll and the media was saying, it wasn't really that much of a demotion and Milicic is getting the same minutes off the bench as he was as a starter. Anyhow, seeing him play just as hard off the bench as he did as a starter makes me a happy camper. I want to see the 'Gic either make trades this summer or sign a 2nd tier f/a so we can re-sign Darko this summer. BUT.... what do we do if a team makes a $10 mil/yr offer for Darko? Do we match it?

jack daniel 999 27 Report post Posted March 20, 2007 That's a tough one ... But I think we should . We need to keep a good part of this team together. So what if we go over the cap... They owe it to us for putting us through these years of not having. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
