A team that has a power forward who shoots well from the perimeter can be very dangerously offensively. It hasn’t materialized with Villanueva and the Pistons, but if other elements of the offense improve, he could still be a weapon.

It’s far too early to give up on him.

We'd be lucky to get one of those stats from CV31 let alone all three. Just curious, why did we go after an outside shooting big man playing iffy minutes on a sub-par team? We have two wings that can spread the floor with their shooting, did we really need to spread the floor with 4 players? We need an actual PF, not a SF who plays PF poorly. At least he has a palatable contract, maybe we can package him with Prince, pick up McGrady, and have some cap room at the end of the season if TMac doesn't work out.
