	NBA.com Man on the Spot -- Darko Milicic
		With Dwyane Wade and LeBron James arguably the two best players in the league right now and with Carmelo Anthony having a strong summer, the pressure increases on Darko Milicic to validate his No. 2 selection in the 2003 Draft.

	Sports: Darko sightings something to see
		Darko Milicic, long a joke for garbage-time appearances, is playing well after joining the Magic.
		Since the Pistons drafted Milicic as an 18-year-old Serbian - unknown to most American fans, but fawned over by international scouts who ogled him like he was Angelina Jolie with a jump-hook - Milicic has been everything but a contributing member of an NBA team.
		Milicic has responded by averaging about seven points, six rebounds and two blocks in 23 minutes over the past seven games heading into Friday's matchup against Cleveland and his 2003 alum James.

		Milicic was especially effective in the North European Basketball League, an elite international club tournament.
		International players don't play as long a game (the world game is played in four 10-minute quarters) or as long a season, but they have already learned to live away from home and European-wide travel can be as extensive as the constant hops NBA teams make in their season.
		Milicic has named Minnesota's Kevin Garnett and the Spurs' Duncan as players he respects, and after the workout in Detroit he said his quickness was his biggest asset.

	The Curious Case of Darko Milicic \| 82games.com
		Just barely 18 when he was drafted by the Pistons, Milicic entered the league as one of the youngest players in NBA history; even now, during his third season, Milicic is one of the 25 youngest players in the league.
		He's one of the small handful of players in league history younger than Milicic and was on Trail Blazers teams that won an average of nearly 65% of their games.
		Milicic has averaged 3.4 blocks per 40 minutes thus far in his NBA career, and while that mark will likely go down as he plays more minutes and takes fewer chances defensively, he has the ability to form an intimidating last line of interior defense alongside budding star Dwight Howard.

		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.

		Darko is a slightly different situation than most though and that is cause for hope.
		I decided to compare Darko with other forwards and centers who also played their first year in the league as a teenager.
		What we can glean about Darko from this list is he shows promise as a shot blocker and he might be a better player than Niko Tskitishvili.
