Roger Montgomery, Weems’ agent comments on the impact the athletic Raptor will have overseas,
“Sonny, will play a significant role for Zalgiris. They will expect him to play hard, play team ball, and help them win. Just like any other team. He won’t be a savior! They are a good team, already in the middle of the pack, and Sonny should be able to help them get to the top of the pack!”
