Looks like he was so excited by the LB rumors that it gave him extra motivation to go out there and prove that he can achieve his dreams!

(That and LA has 3 injured centers.)

Just a few really bad stats from Darko this year.

Only 4 free throw attempts in December, despite playing in 14 games (starting in 12 of them) and getting 324 minutes. That means 1 trip to the line every 7 games. Not good.

18 games this year with 2 or fewer points. 9 games with 2 rebounds or less. 33 games with more turnovers than assists (Sheed did that 17 times). Went 13 consecutive games without a steal.

On the positive side:
15 games with 3 or more blocked shots (Sheed has 18).
11 double doubles (Sheed has 10).


** I just give Sheed's info for perspective, since we see him every game.
