Raptors rookie DeMar DeRozan is already beginning to plan for next month's Dunk-In Contest against Clippers guard Eric Gordon.
It was announced on Monday that Nate Robinson, Gerald Wallace and Shannon Brown will participate in the contest with DeRozan and Gordon fighting for the final spot.
"Sonny [Weems] thinks he's a better dunker than me so he thinks every piece of advice he gives me is great," DeRozan said of his teammate.
"That's my man so I'm going to listen to him and take his advice. He won the college dunk contest so he has a good enough resume to listen to."
Weems, along with veteran guard Jarrett Jack, will be among DeRozan's crew at All-Star Weekend in Dallas.
"Jarrett will be there and Sonny will be there so I might mess around and use both of them," DeRozan said of incorporating his teammates into the contest.
"Just going up throwing down dunks by yourself is so cliche now. You have to have a partner throwing some out of the stands or something like that."
