NBA draft bust Darko Milicic is now a fisherman

With his NBA career behind him, Darko Milicic is free to pursue a new calling: carp fishing. 

That's right, the man who was drafted at No. 2 behind LeBron James is now a fisherman. So good, in fact, that he's competing in the World Carp Classic 2013 in Italy, Sportando discovered.

Milicic was selected by the Detroit Pistons in 2003 NBA Draft ahead of Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, and Dwayne Wade, to name a few. He had stints with the Orlando Magic, Memphis Grizzlies, New York Knicks, Minnesota Timberwolves and, most recently, the Boston Celtics, who released him last season after just one regular season game. 

He is still a free agent but by the sounds of it, he's a lot better at fishing than basketball.
