An extremely versatile player with excellent shooting ability from both three point range and the middle distance, Weems also loves to penetrate to the basket. He is skilled at creating opportunities for himself and others, and is dominant at both ends of the court. Weems is an experienced competitor at the highest levels who knows how (and loves) to take charge of the ball at the crucial moment.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div> \t\u00a0<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv is proud to announce that they have signed Sonny Weems (29, 6\u20196\u201d) to a two year contract.
