    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">With the National Basketball Association's regular season rapidly approaching, new Milwaukee Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva is making a promise to his team's coaches, players and fans.

    "You guys haven't seen nothing yet," he said.

    Actually, not much has been seen from Villanueva so far, but that's pretty understandable because he has a lot on his plate these days.

    Villanueva, a 6-foot-11, second-year forward out of Connecticut, came to the Bucks last June in a high-profile trade with Toronto for guard T.J. Ford. Villanueva has been under the microscope ever since.

    The Bucks have made it clear since the trade that Villanueva is one of their main cogs for the future and expectations have been running high for what he will bring to the team. That's natural, considering he threw down 48 points on the Bucks last season.

    But the transition hasn't been easy for Villanueva and that has been reflected in his play. He has been in foul trouble in three of the team's six exhibition games - he fouled out after getting minimal playing time in each of the first two - and his body language and expressions on the court have often indicated frustration.

    "It's coming along a little slowly, little by little," Villanueva said. "I'm taking this time just to get used to things . . . the way they play, the style they play.

    "It's tough. Being a rookie last year and adjusting to the whole NBA game and now being traded and now being on a different team. It's tough, but I'm coming along."</div>
