Charlie Villanueva: Could play in NBA this season
Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson said Wednesday that while Villanueva won't return to Dallas, he expects the veteran forward to play in the NBA this season, Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
After two seasons as a low-end option off the Mavericks' bench, Villanueva became a free agent in July, but has largely failed to generate interest from NBA teams thus far. As a high-volume shooter who holds underwhelming career rates of 43.5 percent from the field and 34.1 percent from three-point range, Villanueva may not possess the skill set that most teams would find deserving of a guaranteed contract. While Villanueva probably wouldn't have much trouble earning a training camp invite from a club, the 32-year-old may value the financial security of a guaranteed deal, which could prompt him to explore his options overseas. For what it's worth, Villanueva was reportedly gauging interest from teams in the Chinese Basketball Association earlier this month, according to international basketball writer David Pick.
