Siegel's Take -
Top 30 Scouting Reports
“Villanueva considered coming
straight to the NBA, but he made the smart decision to go to college because
scouts saw too many weaknesses in his game at the time. No doubt Villanueva
has improved some, but the fact is that he should simply be better than a
guy who averages 13 ppg, and only shows up two out of every three games.
When Villanueva was in high school, I used to think he was just really lazy,
but over time I realized that he simply is not that quick. Unlike a guy his
size like Chhanning Frye, Villanueva does not run the floor well, and will
make his living down in the post. Villanueva should be picked between the 12th
and 18 picks, and projects to be a Corliss Williamson type player
statistically with a few more rebounds thrown in for good measure.”
