People do forget that Delfino was THE bench besides Dice last year, before his injury. He was on a great pace for development as a rookie before his injury, and now he's shown here and there this season that he has that potential still.
Darko just sucks, I'm sorry. I'm all for him becoming a great player, but until he makes the best of his limited minutes, he's in my doghouse. Preseason he looked rejuvenated, early season he looked decent, but ever since the Knicks game and he stunk up his PT, I understand where Flip stands and how he has to regain that PT in practice or
garbage time.
Unlike under LB, I trust Flip with the development of Darko. If he's getting 2nd quarter minutes like he used to in the earlier games, he's obviously on pace on doing something right. Right now, he's obviously not.
JMax on the other hand was great to see, but he does have 5 big men ahead of him including my favorite, Darko.
