Raptors deal struggling center Araujo to Utah
Toronto drafted Araujo with the eighth overall pick in the 2004 draft, but he ended up a bust averaging just 2.9 points and 3.0 rebounds in 111 career games.
Former general manager Rob Babcock was fired in part because of Araujo's struggles. Fans often booed the 6-foot-10 center.
"We wish Rafael well and feel this will be a positive move for both teams," new general manager Bryan Colangelo said.
Humphries averaged 3.6 points and 2.7 rebounds in 129 career games with Utah. The 6-foot-9 Humphries was the 14th overall pick in the 2004 draft.
Whaley averaged 2.1 points and 1.9 rebounds in 23 games with Utah this past season.
Araujo played two seasons at BYU in Provo, Utah 40 miles down the road from where the Jazz play.
In his last season with the Cougars, the Brazilian center was the Mountain West Conference's co-player of the year. He led BYU in scoring and rebounding with an average of 18.4 points and 10.1 rebounds. He shot 57 percent from the field and made 72 percent of his free throws.
