Chad Ford was on the radio today. He said he talked to Ben Wallace about two weeks ago. Ben Wallace told him that Darko was ready now and that Darko would be a Superstar in the future. He also said he didn't think it was a case of Ben saying those things only because Darko is his teammate. Ben told him that Darko does all the little things that it takes to become great in the league.
Ben thinks that Darko is ready and would help Detroit today. Chad Ford said that he's seen Darko in practice quite a few times this year and that he's improved drastically. Chad Ford also said that he hasn't changed his opinion that Darko is going to be dominant in the league after seeing him numerous times this season. A few reports over the last few weeks indicated that even Joe wants to see Darko play even though he's not going to make any demands to Larry Brown. With all those things in mind, I don't think there's any excuse for Larry Brown not to give Darko at least 10 minutes a night. With Zelly out of the lineup tonight because of suspension, Darko better play against New York. It sounds like it's no longer just a long term benefit of giving Darko playing time but that Darko might be the spark that Detroit needs to get past New Jersey or Indiana this year.
