It's almost mercifully that the Darko Milicic era in the NBA is coming to a close.It was often too painful to watch.
Milicic, now a seldom-used reserve center for the New York Knicks, came into the league with Detroit as the No. 2 pick of the 2003 Draft, a wide-eyed, 18-year-old youngster from Serbia-Montenegro.
Selected immediately after LeBron James, and ahead of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, Milicic was relatively unknown but supposedly filled with incredible promise as a diamond in the rough.
The roughness never left. The promise never was fulfilled. The desire to play never arrived.
After seven seasons with four teams, all marked by disappointment and criticism for his lack of passion, Milicic will leave quietly without fanfare when this season ends.
