Cant compare Dice to DMC. Everyone knows what Dice is capable of, and he'll get every chance to get back to that level. No one knows what DMC is capable of. Darko needs to watch Delfino, Evans is getting PT over him, even though Evans keeps having up and down games, even last night with 9 pts, and 5 boards, Evans still had a bunch of defensive lapses. But Delfino comes in, plays hard, plays well, and is making it harder and harder for Flip to keep him out of the lineup.
In Darko's favor, none of our Bigs are playing well. Something's up with Ben. Did he ever get his bone spurs worked on over the summer? Dice is off. And Davis in limited time hasn't shown anything, so by default, Darko will eventually start getting some more bench time. He better be ready to take advantage of it.
BTW, read a review of Darko's infamous 5 minutes against the Knicks, and the writer said Darko messed by trying too hard, and being nervous. I'll take those kind of errors over not trying hard enough.
