SALT LAKE -- Former BYU All-American center Rafael Araujo was acquired by the Utah Jazz today in a trade that also sent forward Kris Humphries and center Robert Whaley to the Toronto Raptors.
The Jazz acquired Araujo and cash from the Raptors in exchange for Humphries and Whaley, the Jazz announced Thursday. The Jazz exercised their 2006-07 team option on Whaley prior to the trade.
The 6-11, 290-pound Araujo was the eighth overall pick in the 2004 NBA Draft and played two seasons for the Raptors. A native of Brazil, Araujo played two seasons at Arizona Western College before completing his college career at BYU (2002-04). Araujo earned All-America honors and was named Mountain West Conference Co-Player of the Year and All-MWC First Team as a senior. He helped BYU earn back-to-back NCAA Tournament berths in 2003 and 2004.
Humphries (6-9, 235 pounds, Minnesota) played two seasons for the Jazz, and was originally selected by the Jazz with the 14th pick in the 2004 NBA Draft.
Whaley (6-10, 260 pounds, Walsh), was the 51st pick of the second round of the 2005 NBA Draft and played his rookie season for the Jazz in 2005-06.
