Charlie Villanueva gets nailed with a 5-game suspension from the NBA

26-year old “power” forward Charlie Villanueva has been suspended for 5 games by the NBA after his altercation with Ryan Hollins of the Cavaliers the other night. Villanueva served the first game of his suspension last night against the Sixers and he will miss the first four games of the 2011-12 season. Villanueva finally showed some heart in the game in which he was suspended in as he is one of the softest 6′11″, 240 pound players on the planet. He played in 76 games (11 starts) for the Pistons this year and he averaged 21.9 minutes, 11.1 points, 3.9 rebounds and 0.6 assists per game. Villanueva has now played in 154 games (27 starts) in his first two years with the Pistons and he has averaged 22.8 minutes, 11.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Villanueva flat out stinks as his signing was one of the biggest mistakes that Pistons’ GM Joe Dumars has ever made.
