In an effort to shore up their injury-riddled post position, the New Orleans Hornets signed free-agent center Anthony Tolliver to a 10-day contract on Wednesday and had him in uniform Wednesday night against the New Jersey Nets.

Tolliver, 6 foot 8, played 19 games earlier this season with the San Antonio Spurs, with whom he signed this summer. The Spurs waived Tolliver on Jan. 7 and he most recently played with the Iowa Energy of the NBA Development League.

"He's a guy I saw a lot in summer league with San Antonio and is a guy who can shoot from distance, a very good defender, very active, tough, hard-nosed type basketball player," Scott said. "He's obviously pretty good if he's been able to stick with San Antonio this period of time.

"We're getting a guy who, if we can get him involved in what we do offensively and defensively, he can probably help us while these guys are down."




Is he any good?

I've heard his name before. Can't say that I've ever paid attention to his play though.

Seems to be a good passer if he is actually a center... 3 assists per 28 minutes is nice.

I guess we will have to wait and see, can't get much worse, I was at the Indy game and the boos on Sean Marks were laughable, then he threw down that dunk and the crowd shut up :lol:
