Wait, Darko is What??? Starting??!!

Occasionally, small throwaway phrases catch your attention. Such is the case with the following excerpt from Deadspin’s morning roundup:
“Phoenix put up an NBA season-high 152 points against the T-Wolves, as every sports writer dusts off the word “rout.” But really, what else can you call it? Certainly not an NBA game, when Darko Milicic led all Wolves starters with a -12 +/-.”
Tracking…totally…makes sense…Darko was on the court in garbage time…with all the scrubs on the floor in a blowout…wait, a second starter? Did you say Darko Milicic led all Wolves starters??!!!
/frantically looking up box score
/confirming Darko did in fact start last night’s game
Honestly, I’m speechless. No need to go dumping on our boy Darko. The Knicks traded Milicic to the Wolves for veteran Brian Cardinal who they promptly waived. So, clearly, Knicks brass felt highly of the former #2 overall pick out of Serbia. Now, the current edition of the Knicks is nothing to write home about. But how bad are the Wolves that Darko is part of your starting five? Am I the only one slightly shocked by this? No need to answer…
