Milicic Admits He's Homesick

Grizzles center Darko Milicic will be a free agent in the summer of 2010, and admitted on Wednesday that he could return to Europe.

"I lot of days I think that," Milicic said, "because the only way to be me is in Europe. I don't want to be a defensive player the rest of my career. It's not really what I want to do."

Six seasons and three teams after being the No. 2 overall pick behind LeBron James, Milicic has yet to fully adapt to the NBA game.

"In Europe, I can be a different player with the ball going through me," Milicic said. "Here, you take a shot and you just don't want to miss. You think too much.

"I want to get my confidence back on the offensive end. I want the ball to go through me so I can have a chance to miss without worrying about it. And I want a chance to make plays. (Europe) has good basketball, and it would be closer to home."

I'm not surprised by this, I think he could be a good European player. One of the biggest busts in NBA history, however.

If he wasn't taken so high then he wouldn't be a bust..
But he should not have even been close to the lottery.

Silly Darko, Europe's for kids.

No but seriously, he should go there and never come back.

Lol, still bitter?

 

[RipCity32]

Pretty much lol. Funny thing is he want the offense to run through him, but he is so soft that it can't.

Yeah, nothing he has done in his career has shown ANYONE he's a #1 option on any team.

 

[RipCity32]

People used to say he is a better hair dresser than a basketball player. LMAO.

Cause he always messed with his hair.
