I think you can doubt he will be a good player, but I don't think you can doubt he has talent. However, some of the most talented players in the world can't make it at this level. Talent has to be followed with mental toughness. That’s why the the Kwame Browns are always Kwame Brown. I remember watching an episode of “And 1” on ESPN. Mike James was getting schooled by a few of them guys, but they could never make it in NBA. These are not only the greatest athletes but the stars are the most mentally tough also. Question is can Darko become mentally tough in Detroit, or does he have to go somewhere else with a chip on his shoulder. I hope he makes it somewhere, but I worry he was an 18 year old who had his confidence crushed by LB. |
