Playing with good energy and giving a good defensive presence.  Will fit well as a 3rd string center.

Darko seems like a decent backup center.

Collins can be third string.

We have Bass and Sullinger at the 4.

I agree, Kirk.............we can also play Green with Sully at the 5 for stretches............Doc said he will mix up the lineups

Wilcox will be fine.  Sitting and walking fine.  Didn't have to lay on the floor, which is a bonus.

If Darko doesn't  try to do too much and too much output isn't expected of him, he should  do fine as a backup center.  Its pretty obvious he can block shots.  If he can get 6-8 rebounds in limited minutes that would be a huge plus.  His free throw shoots looks horrendous though.  I haven't looked up his lifetime stats but so far it has been UGLY.

In response to OneOnOne's comment:

Shaq-like FT% Darko has.

In response to Fiercest34's comment:

So that means he makes them when it counts?

Hack a Darko!!!!

Looks like Pau doesn't intimidate him any.

He certainly has skills....shot blocker and rebounder....12 minutes a night? ...I like it..!

So far, Darko has already shown that he is an upgrade over Stiemsma and we almost got to the finals with him.

I think this is definitely a steal.

Darko could fill a big role if stays steady. He is a big body that can block shots,take up space and he's a decent passer out of he post. Collins doesn't really do it for me.

Just give us enough to let Melo sit and learn.  But I don't think Sully will have to play much 5 with Wilcox also on the bench.  Wilcox will run the floor better than both Sully and Darko.

In response to Rajon-Hondo's comment:

Collins will shine as a post defender(Bynum,Lopez,Howard), not as a shot blocker, rebounder or even a pick setter.

Fortunately, we will only face Dwight Howard twice this year!

Maybe he'll be starting, and then you can really be afraid of him.........you know  - you think he'll commit murder on the court??

Darko has played very well. He is playing with great effort. Combine that with his massive size you get a capable player.  Sully and darko have been the biggest surprises so far.  Darko can  help us keep protect kg and keep him fresh. We will need him when you consider all the size we will face in the atlantic. Chandler, bynum, lopez, valunucas. All the teams in our divison have legit centers.  I see no reason darko cant play 10-12 minutes.

Minutes for center position

KG 28

DARKO 10

WILCOX 10
