Bucks Pass on Charlie Villanueva

by Gary WashburnFiled under: Bucks, NBA TransactionsThe NBA free-agent pool just got more intriguing when the Milwaukee Bucks announced they would not extend a qualifying offer to forward Charlie Villanueva, making the former UConn standout an unrestricted free agent.The Bucks can still re-sign Villanueva but cannot match any other offer, as they would have had the right to if he were a restricted free agent. Villanueva is a player who has never been able to stay consistently healthy or find a comfort zone with his previous two teams -- Milwaukee and Toronto. But a look at Villanueva's numbers tell NBA teams that he has a place somewhere in the league. He averaged 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in less than 27 minutes per game. That's 0.6 points per minute, on the same scoring pace as Portland's Brandon Roy, and Villanueva doesn't turn 25 until August.Bucks Pass on Charlie Villanueva originally appeared on Fanhouse NBA Blog on Mon, 29 Jun 2009 18:40:00 EDT .
