    Huffman signs two-year deal with Toronto

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ESPN.com news services


    TORONTO -- The Toronto Raptors signed free agent center Nate Huffman to a two-year contract on Friday.


    Huffman, 27, averaged 18.8 points and 7.5 rebounds for Israeli League champion Maccabi Elite Tel-Aviv last season.


    The native of Battle Creek, Mich., was the MVP of both the Suproleague and Israeli League for the 2000-01 season.


    "We are very happy to add Nate to our team,'' Toronto general manager Glen Grunwald said. "With his success in Europe, Nate has shown that he is an excellent player and should have a significant impact on the team next season.''


    Huffman's signing came a few days after the Raptors rescinded their qualifying offer to free agent Keon Clark, all but officially ending the center's tenure with Toronto after two seasons.

    The Rockets kind of liked this guy too last year.

    That's a good pickup for the Raptors. They need a big man and I think he could be a nice surprise for them next year.

    The videos show this guy is definitely much more than your typical white stiff but old habits die hard and he'll likely be labelled a white stiff until he shows his skills.
