I like what Stotts is doing. CV always came across to me as way too confident and cocky, and maybe this will take him off of his pedestel. He has too much potential and talent to be wasted like this, and maybe he will learn his lesson this time.
CV is a decent offensive player though I agree that he's not very effective on the defensive end and thats what he needs to improve on to be a a good basketball player or even a starter in the nba and I don't know if he can improve his defense or other things in his game which needs work but from what im hearing from some bucks fans it looks like he dosen't seem have the wil to improve.

That was ill.Check your facts next time
Ah, I noticed that, first time we played you guys in November he got heavy minutes. Then in December I saw that Charlie Villanueva was benched and barely getting ANY time. On Wednesday he didn't even play, I was wondering why? I guess that answers it. Anyways I guess the Raptors got the uperhand on that deal, but Mo' Williams starting is actually carrying the load better than TJ Ford was, and now that CV is benched you've started winning.
Awww! give'em a brake! It's tough enough being traded and trying to find your fit with a new team but, he has had some unexpected injuries, Torn left elbow ligament which caused him to miss 10 games and now Right shoulder tendonitis which he tried to ignore and may have made things worse. He is scheduled for an MRI and see a specialist. Once he is 100% healthy and finds his perfect fit with his new teammates, he'll provide the support off the bench the Bucks need to make it above .500 and to the second round of play offs....

Just making the playoffs will be very difficult. We traded for him to be the starter, if he can't beat out Skinner at PF that would be pretty pathetic.
I can't argue with you. You are right! Sometimes the General Managers hurt the organization with their decisions. We as fans don't have a say. We just have to live with and hope for the best....That damn Larry Harris!
I htink he'll turn out to be a very richmans role player. I can see him winning a ring as a 4th option off the bench. But you have to point out how explosive offensivly he can be, he had 48points last seaosn as a rookie.

I think doing that would make the team less effective because CV has enough talent to be starting. Someone who can score like that should be starting as well, you don't want to be giving him not enough minutes to make his impact. Because he can make his impact as he's proven.
I think the main reason for Villanueva's down fall has been his injury. Before he received that elbow injury he was putting up 15 and 7, he doesn't seem to be the same player after returning back from 10 games off. Now it seems like he will be out for the entire year, I hope he bounces back strong next season.
