Darko Milicic, the second overall pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, took responsibility for his failures as a member of the Pistons earlier in his career.

"I didn't handle it well in Detroit," Milicic said. "I was kind of frustrated because I didn't play. I didn't work as hard as I could. In this league, it takes a lot to become a good player.

"I did do a little bit, but not enough."
