Grizzlies sign guard Damon Stoudamire
August 5, 2005
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Guard Damon Stoudamire on Friday signed a four-year contract with the Memphis Grizzlies, who traded Jason Williams and Bonzi Wells earlier this week.
The 10-year veteran spent the past eight seasons in Portland. He is coming off his best season with the Trail Blazers, averaging 15.8 points and 5.7 assists and shooting 91.5 percent from the foul line.
``Damon is an experienced veteran and proven leader on the court,'' said Jerry West, the Grizzlies' president of basketball operations. ``We feel we have added a significant player to our team and know that he will help take us to a different level than where we are today.''
The 5-foot-10 guard was drafted in the first round by Toronto in 1995 and was the 1996 rookie of the year. He was traded to Portland 49 games into the 1997-98 season. He left Portland ranked second behind Terry Porter for career 3-pointers and third in assists.
