Charlie Villanueva In 3-Man Battle As Pistons Starting Forward
Is power forward Charlie Villanueva playing well enough to start?
Villanueva had 16 points and eight rebounds in a 99-88 loss to Minnesota on Friday, and 19 points and three rebounds in a 97-94 loss to Charlotte on Saturday.
With Jonas Jerebko likely out for most or all of the season with a ruptured right Achilles tendon, Villanueva's competition for the job is rookie Greg Monroe and slender Austin Daye.
