UConn is holding a press conference for Villanueva today at 4:45 Eastern.

Obviously to enter the draft. Interesting decision. He will be drafted in the lottery, but I don't know if he is really ready for the league. I'm on the fence with this guy.

I haven't seen many Uconn games, but the ones i did see, he didn't really do much to impress me. Hopefully McHale doesn't draft him (unless in 2nd round)

You must not have watched him at all in the second half of the season. Played with passion and fire. He is the only reason Uconn finished as strong as they did. He won't make it past the lottery so you don't have to worry about your t-wolves grabbing him.

hes just a weird player..

he played well down the stretch but seemed to also hinder the team at the same time if that makes any sense..

im not crazy about the guy..

Its official. He's jumping. He could be a truly great player in the NBA, or a total bust. High risk/reward type of pick. I'll be very curious to see what kind of player he becomes. I would love it if the Nets ended up picking him. JKidd is the best thing that can happen to a young, athletic big guy's development.

He will be drafted in the lottery,

Whoa, I don't know about that

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 think he would fit in well with the nets or the pheonix suns based on the type of point guards those teams have.

Well as a high schooler they said he would be a secound round pick, I see the same exact thing happening here. He is unbelievably inconsistent.
