Connecticut forward Charlie Villanueva will forgo his final two years of college eligibility to enter the NBA draft.

"I went with my heart," the 6-foot-11, 240-pounder said Tuesday. "I'm 100 percent confident in my decision."

...

Scouts have praised Villanueva's ball-handling, passing and shot-blocking skills and have projected that he would be a late first-round pick.

I'm exited about his ability to run and lead the break and finish with his athleticism, but right now rebounding and low-post D is more important.

From a Chad Ford chat:

Quote:

He has lottery talent. High lottery talent. He's big, athletic, can be nasty, and can score inside and out. But when you take into account his attitude, laziness on the defensive end and a terrible rep his stock really suffers. The six main scouts and GMs I consult ALL like him as a player, but when pressed on whether they'd actually take him with a lottery pick, they all pass. Asked if they'd take him at 21, every one of them said yes. So ... my guess is that he's a mid to late first rounder.

Sounds like Eddie Griffen... attitude and work ethic is what cause him to fall to us a few years ago.
