Look pal, the starters have got this team to the best record in the league. That's a weak argument.

Evans and Dice bring consistency of effort, even if the results are not there. I'm not doubting that Darko is talented, he's just lazy.
I know you think Darko rescues kittens from trees on the off days. That he is busy brokering peace in the middle east between practices. There is nothing he can't do.

He's not so smart. He could get a max deal with a contender. He's blowing his own future. I don't think he will ever be a part of the Pistons future. Piston players "typically" have heart.

I dunno about you, but 60 seconds is plenty of time for me to show the ladies what I am made of. Again, not doubting his skill (or mine). I'm doubting his maturity, heart, effort and professionalism.
But taking the carrot you so graciously present, if Darko hasn't shown game yet, how can anyone justify propping this guy up? Has he given anything back for all of the faith?
According to today's Burning Questions by Chris McCoskey, (or as I like to call it, "The Flaming Hoop Column"), he's lost his spot with poor practices now. Flip's questioned his effort, and anyone without visual impairment can see that he is lost out there.
We need to get Davis involved, and maybe JMax as well to rest Ben. Until Darko can show the requisite desire and energy to play in the NBA, he should just keep dreaming about that FAT payday while he "rots" on the bench.
