While
LeBron James garnered most of the attention and headlines, Darko Milicic may end up being the greatest player to emerge from the 2003 draft. Without question, Darko is moving into a more comfortable development situation on an excellent Pistons team that will look at him as a role player, rather than the savior that LeBron must be for the Cleveland Cavs. Most likely, NBA fans will be treated to a rivalry between the two great young players to match the legendary one of Larry Bird and Magic Johnson.
Grizzlies center Darko Milicic is not necessarily thinking about the NBA as a long-term proposition. Milicic, who also will be a 2010 free agent, said his change of address could see him returning to Europe.

Darko Milicic would have certainly gone #1 in the 2003 draft if it were not for
