The Toronto Raptors acquire Amir Johnson and Sonny Weems from Milwaukee
The Raptors have acquired 22-year old power forward Amir Johnson and 23-year old guard Sonny Weems from the Bucks for 26-year old shooting guard Carlos Delfino and 24-year old point guard Roko Ukic. In Johnson the Raptors have a player with a huge upside. Johnson played in 62 games (24 starts) for the Pistons last season and he averaged 14.7 minutes, 3.5 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.3 assists and 1.0 blocked shot per game. Johnson has now played in 135 games (24 starts) in his 4-year NBA career and he has averaged 13.6 minutes, 3.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.4 assists and 1.1 blocked shots per game. Weems played in 12 games (0 starts) as a rookie for the Nuggets last season and he averaged 4.6 minutes, 1.6 points, 0.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. Carlos Delfino played overseas last season. He only played 1 year for the Raptors (2007-08) and he appeared in all 82 games (0 starts) that season and averaged 23.5 minutes, 9.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game. Roko Ukic was a rookie last season and he played in 72 games (0 starts) for the Raptors in which he averaged 12.4 minutes, 4.2 points, 1.0 rebound and 2.1 assists per game. Delfino and Ukic should get a lot of playing time in Milwaukee but Amir Johnson has the biggest upside of these four players.
