If you want Amir Johnson to get better, then you have to play him. All the Better Basketball videos in the world won't help him if he doesn't get to experiment and apply it on the court.

I understand that you think Kwame is still a bust. However, he is way better than he was last year, so you might be surprised if you haven't watched him recently.
I've seen Kwame play and I agree. He went from a top draft pick who didn't even deserve to be in the league to a top draft pick that actually helps a basketball team. Credit the Zen master for that because Kwame did actually get playing time in Washington he was just not able to thrive in that environment.

On Darko, I've never said that he wasn't serviceable just that I don't believe he will be better than the players I mentioned. To that end, I don't think he will ever win a DPOY either until he learns to rebound. 7 footers who don't rebound will find it hard to get any recognition on the defensive side of the ball.
