The Detroit Pistons have signed 24-year old power forward Charlie Villanueva to a 5-year, $35 million dollar contract. Villanueva will immediately step into Rasheed Wallace’s old spot in the starting lineup. He played in 78 games (47 starts) for the Bucks last season and he averaged 26.9 minutes, 16.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. The Pistons are expecting Villauneva to put up big numbers with more playing time. He has now played in 274 games (131 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 26.5 minutes, 13.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. This signing is a tad risky as Villauneva doesn’t always appear to be playing full go all the time, but no one doubts his playing ability.
