Guest The Situation Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Darko Milicic told SLAM Magazine recently that the Pistons wasted the second overall pick on him when they selected him back in 2003. "They did," Milicic said. "They did waste a pick. Why did they take me? Who knows if I really had a chance to play like these players that play like Dwyane Wade or Carmelo. Those guys are incredible players." Milicic struggled on the bench in Detroit for three seasons before he was traded to Orlando. He has since landed in Memphis and New York and has said repeatedly that this will be his final season in the NBA. "For me, being a second pick, I don't get why they didn't play me at all," Milicic told SLAM. "Why did they take me? You should take someone that they really think was gonna play right away because just taking someone to sit on the bench, you waste a pick and you waste the guy's time. "You wasted my time for three years not playing so you (mess) up a player and you (mess) up yourself, and I just didn't get it. I guess they thought they were gonna be champions forever." http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/63932/20100109/darko_pistons_wasted_no_2_pick_on_me/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
