Tolliver will make San Antonio's roster? Stein: "Last blast from Vegas"

[ceperez]

My main concern with Tolliver is he doesn't have much of a history of being a three-point shooter. His senior year at Creighton, he shot 20% on threes. Last year in the D-League he shot 36% ... but that was only 50 shots (less than one-fourth of his attempts). Take away his three-point shooting and he's not an NBA player.

Bringing him in to space the floor is a risk because he hasn't proven to be a three-point shooter in any stretch other then during this summer league.

He may have completely reinvented his game. Look at him when he was in college, he looked a lot heavier and played more PF or C. Now he's a lot leaner and appears to play from the perimeter. So you get a guy who can stretch the defense and guard a post play.

He could be a 'James Posey' on the cheap. Posey is 6'6".5 with a 7'0" wingspan. Tolliver has more length.

As it is, Tolliver is a one dimensional, one position player. He's got until October to pull something else out of his hat.

If Tolliver is for real, how about Bonner to Orlando for Mo Evans sined for 2 yrs, 6mil? That would give us another solid wing with a nice midrange game, and Tolliver would take over Bonner's spot.

I think Mo would fit beautifully with the Spurs and help to take some minutes off Manu. I'd like to see Manu playing 1/2 a game for most of next year and saving himself for SPAM.

To my recollection, Mo Evans is an UFA. If the Spurs want him, they can sign him outright.

Looking at how Tolliver performed in the Summer League, it will be a sin if the FO does not invite him to the training camp. That's the least the FO should do and we take it from there.

Ducks and Bottomtooth both laughed at me yesterday when i brought this point in the game thread... now that Stein brings it up... what u have to say?

I say you should stop drunken dialing Stein and saying you're an EC executive.

Keyon Dooling was an unrestricted FA and got S&T from the Magic, so it happens.

If the Magic want Bonner and are essentially willing to give up nothing to get him...that'd be the best course of action.

I still say Bonner > Tolliver at this point.
