MIN fan here.

I always liked Tolliver and I think you'll find a lot of Wolves fans feel the same way. There are those who felt he missed too many 3s but he can (and does) make them. His offensive game is pretty limited though.

Tolly is a good character guy who hustles every second he is on the court. He'll put himself in the way and draw charges too. He can guard the 4 or the 3 and maybe the 5 in a pinch so he'll bring you nice defensive versatility.

I hope he gets a chance on your team. There probably aren't many nicer guys in the NBA than Anthony Tolliver.

Anthony Morrow and Anthony Tolliver are two players that I have been wanting on this team. Especially Anthony Morrow. I love the way our off-season has turned out. Chemistry will be a huge factor so hopefully Ferry and Drew come up with some fun activities for the team to do.

It seems like your current situation is similar to what ours was two years ago when Tolliver signed. He will be a nice young veteran, great high character guy, will do all the little things to help your team.

Don't be alarmed by his shooting woes last year, he was dealing with a wrist injury most of the season. Don't expect him to create his own shot. He will get all his points on spot ups and hustle plays at the rim.

Then we can have Tony Parker (for Greg), Tony Wrotten, Tony Allen, Tomislav Zubcic, Anthony Randolph...still thin on bigs so the following year we trade for Anthony Davis and draft Tony Mitchell in 13 (N.Texas) and Anthony Bennett (UNLV) in 14...similar type of players but who cares after all, they will all have the same names!
