PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -The Portland Trail Blazers have selected Nevada guard Armon Johnson with the 34th pick in the NBA draft.

Johnson averaged 15.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.6 assists with the Wolf Pack last season as a junior.

Johnson was the second Nevada player to figure in the Blazers' draft Thursday night. Portland also acquired Nevada shooter Luke Babbitt, the 16th overall pick, and veteran Ryan Gomes from Minnesota for forward Martell Webster, a person with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press. The person requested anonymity because the trade had not been officially announced.

The Trail Blazers selected Memphis swingman Elliot Williams with the 22nd pick.

The moves come amid a report that the Blazers had fired general manager Kevin Pritchard less than an hour before the start of the draft.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
