Injured Villanueva wants to give it his best shot for Pistons

Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva knows his team is struggling making 3-pointers.

That is his skill-set, and he wants to help. But he said he remains two days away from practicing with the team as he recovers from a sore right shoulder. He said he has a tough time lifting his arm over his head and following through.

“Of course it’s frustrating being in a suit and not being able to help this team knowing they need some shooting out there,” Villanueva said. “I can definitely provide that. It’s frustrating, but at the same time I don’t want to go out there being in a hurry and not being able to help the team because I am not 100 percent.”
