We're playing him because we need his production.

As for McDyess, he earned his minutes last year where he was fantastic all year. Just because a player starts slow doesn't mean you give up on him. It's not like he was making huge mistakes like Darko does. He just wasn't hitting his open shots. He did the same thing last year. Started slow, then came on strong mid-season. We're not going to bench him for that.

Darko doesn't fill a NEED. Ben, Sheed, and Dice are plenty capable of filling all of the PF/C minutes. When he was getting minutes at the beginning of the season those were his "freebie" minutes to go out there and get something done. Prove that this team NEEDS him. He didn't. Darko's biggest problem is his rebounding. He either doesn't care or he just sucks at it. Either way it translates as putting out very little effort out there.
