Jorge Sierra: Blazers To Add Anthony Tolliver

Our last names rhyme. Tee hee.

Our last names rhyme. Tee hee.

Jorge Sierra of HoopsHype.com with the scoop: there will be no delay from the Blazers in using their recently-granted hardship exception.

The Trail Blazers... will give a contract today to Anthony Tolliver, sources told HoopsHype.com. Tolliver, a 6-foot-9 forward with good shooting skills, played with the San Antonio Spurs for two months last season and also had a 10-day stint with the New Orleans Hornets. He was currently playing in the NBDL with the Idaho Stampede, where he was averaging 20.7 ppg and 9.9 rebounds and shooting 43 percent from three-point land.

Tolliver is expected to be in uniform Thursday night against Phoenix.

On December 14, just three days ago, Scott Schroeder of Ridiculous Upside wrote...

Anthony Tolliver has got to be the next person to get a call-up (Note: If the NBA keeps going the Jonathan Bender route, replace AT with Chocolate Thunder Darryl Dawkins).  The 6'9" Tolliver continued to be a sniper, hitting 6-of-10 from beyond the arc to finish with 28 points on the day.  He picked up seven boards as well, but that was kind of negated by his five turnovers (which are more a result of the Idaho offense than anything).  He can play inside and outside on offense, does the little things on defense and generally seems to care - which isn't, unfortunately, a given in the D-League.

Good call, Scott.  Ridiculous Upside also put up a call-up rankings list yesterday, which you can find here. Scott was nice enough to email over a full breakdown of Tolliver's game.

Tolliver's biggest knock seem to be no true position, stemming from Summer League last year.  He prefers to play in the post, but San Antonio tried him out in what I'm calling a Matt Bonner role, AT got hot from 3-point land (not typically his specialty) and earned himself a few weeks in San Antonio in that role.  Once his 3-point shot wasn't falling consistently, however, they let him go.  

He's not a guy that can get the ball in the post and dominate, but he has enough low post game to be able to score with his back to the basket... in Idaho, they run a SSOL offense, which suits his game perfectly... He's too versatile to just sit him in the post and let him go to work with his back to the basket all game.

He's not strong enough to guard Dwight Howard, but he'll be able to hold his own down low.  As far as the meshing goes, nobody really meshes in the D-League, simply because everyone is trying to get to the NBA, but I've never heard any issues as far as Tolliver being a problem in that regard.

He's active, athletic and only 24 years old.  He's not going to set the world on fire, but he's willing do the little things, and do them well.    

In a great scouting report, Brother Wendell Maxey breaks down Tolliver's travels in detail and lays out this quote from Tolliver's D-League coach... 

"In my estimation he's (Tolliver) one of the top five players in the league," MacKinnon said back then. "He has a chance to be one of the first call-ups to the NBA."

Maxey also unearthed this post from the new D-League Digest blog, which has some more information on Tolliver from Steve Weinman.

There are plenty of guys on the basketball circuit who can fill up a stat sheet, and Anthony Tolliver did his share of box score-stuffing on Wednesday night: 20 points, 17 rebounds (7 offensive), 4 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 6 turnovers. But to borrow the type of term Walt Frazier enjoys using, I can remember few other occasions when a player seemed as omnipresent as AT did on Wednesday.     

Here's Tolliver's Draft Express page.  The last entry, from the 2008 Las Vegas Summer League, reads...

He has been consistently impressive, doing a lot of shooting and a little bit of everything else. He is a good rebounder, a sound defender, extremely intelligent, and just a highly versatile all-around player. Don't be surprised to see him making a team this summer...    

Tolliver worked out for the Blazers prior to the 2007 NBA draft

Update (10:51AM):

I asked Matt Moore of Hardwood Paroxysm to assess the knocks on Tolliver's game. He replied...
He's one of those guys that I feel like has issues with meshing. And I'm not sold on his strength    

The Invisible Ninja reviewed some video clips of Tolliver on Synergy and passes along these comments...
Passes out of the double team well. Granted its the D-League but he has decent touch. He seems to play solid D. Guy loves to go into the paint once he catches with back to basket, I haven't seen him turn baseline once... from either side. Doesn't seem to attack the rim though, lots of shots coming across the lane. 3 pt stroke looks pretty solid, his release is a little low. Solid from top of key and the corner.
Update (11:19AM): Brian T. Smith of the Vancouver Columbian tweets confirmation of the signing...
Tolliver is at Blazers' shootaround. Will be signed later today, source says.
Update (11:57AM): 

The Blazers announce via text message that they have officially signed Tolliver.

Is he exclusively a 4? Or is he a 3-4 Tweener ala Trout.

I think he's actually a 4/5 guy

He’s listed as center on ESPN’s profile page. I get the impression that he’s more of a Chuck Hayes’ type 4/5. Not super tall, but big enough to hold his ground playing the 5.

Answered my own question Draft Express has him as a 4-5

Given that he measured only 6’7" w/o shoes, he is pretty short for a five. Maybe he can be our Chuck Hayes.

by upper left corner on Dec 17, 2009 9:28 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

based on his '07 draft profile

he struggles guarding the perimeter, like Cunningham

now Dante and Pendergraph have some competition for those backup PF minutes

#52

by jscot on Dec 17, 2009 9:45 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

If I understand correctly

it’s when one of the four last injured players returns (Nic, Travis, Rudy, Greg). Most likely Rudy.

Which means he gets probably 4-8 weeks. Mills and Pendergraph should be back by that time, which means they’ll actually get to show what they can do on the court before the decision has to be made. With Bayless’ progress and our injuries at the big positions, I suspect Mills is in danger, but obviously, if one of the big men struggles, there won’t be much reason to keep him around.

The other possibility is a 2 for 1 trade, or a player for a pick trade, clearing a roster spot.

#52

by jscot on Dec 17, 2009 10:07 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

If room is made for Tolliver past Rudy's return

I’d put high odds that it is due to an unbalanced trade. Hard to imagine them waiving a guy they picked (Mills), for a D-league callup who they can likely bring back next summer even if they like him.

How did you guys win that?

He’s a fringe NBA player, having made the roster of the Cavs (after going undrafted) and Spurs before. His role right now is as another body for practice and to help out with the rotation in case of foul trouble. For him it’s a good chance to either make this team, or at least recommend himself to all others. And it pays better than a year in the D-League. Win win.

absolutely agreed

it just seems highly doubtful they would waive Mills to keep Tolliver, given that they’ve kept him thus far. Seems more likely to me that a guy like Pendergraph could be cut loose if Tolliver shows anything to the team.

Pendergraph’s deal is fully guaranteed whereas Mills’ is not. I’d expect trades before people get cut loose for nothing.

Factors you are ignoring

1. We are desperate for bigs right now. Is Mills’ future upside enough to justify costing us a playoff spot this year? Seems doubtful, and if Tolliver shows he can be an effective backup for us, especially at center, I could see us keeping him.
2. Bayless’ emergence potentially decreases the value of Mills’ future upside.
3. Mills will have a chance to play before the decision has to be made. How he performs will factor into this. If Tolliver plays well and Mills doesn’t, the Mills experiment may be over.
4. They may be high on Mills’ potential, but the fact is, they didn’t cut loose Collins and Udoka as soon as Mills signed his contract, so it isn’t as if they are so high on him that the decision was made immediately. They still gave consideration to keeping those other guys, so (despite the fact that some think it was Paul Allen’s decision) Mills’ spot is not sacrosanct.
5. KP isn’t going to make a trade of rotation players to avoid cutting Mills.

by jscot on Dec 17, 2009 12:31 PM PST up reply actions   0 recs

not ignoring them.

just weigthing them accordingly. I don’t think it’s impossible Mills could be made to make room for Tolliver, I just think it is highly unlikely.

I felt strongly that KP should "cut" Patty

after the injuries began piling up, but as time has gone by I realize it doesn’t really matter. Expectations have been lowered, and even though Mills is the polar-opposite of a player that I think can become a contributer in a playoff-caliber backcourt I suspect KP is going to give him some time to “sink or swim” out on the hardcourt before making a decision on PM’s fate.

The other (maudlin) reason that Mills may be “safe” is that Mr. Allen (allegedly) wanted him on the roster this fall, and it would be brutal for KP to dump Mills now when he’s so close to a return while Paul is undergoing chemo. The Blazers are an organization with a heart, after all…

Well I guess they got their Trav replacement

Sounds like a stretch four who will give drivers like Miller, Roy and Bayless more room to operate. Who knows what he can bring to the table, but I’m guessing it couldn’t be much worse than what we currently have coming off the bench.

If he can even come close to duplicating his D-league shooting percentages I’ll call it a success.

backup 4 or 5?

i wonder if he will play backup 5? seems small for that, but i guess there arent too many options right now. its where the blazers are thinnest right now. i guess he could be another 4 with dante and howard could be backup 5.

Why didn’t we sign an actual center, this guy replicates what we already have. as soon as the Pryz leaves a game teams attack the rim and kill us. bad signing, we should have used this exception on someone that could protect the rim.

by two4larue on Dec 17, 2009 11:28 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed.

The Blazers clearly needed to sign a center — at least 7’2" and 275 lbs — who can clean the boards at both ends of the floor, play solid individual and help defense, and force opposing defenders to guard him because of his ability to easily score in the paint or find the open man when double-teamed.

Tolliver is Matt Bonner-esque

He’s a hybrid 4, but I don’t think he’s going to be able to play the 5. Suffice it to say, if he’s not playing the 5 in the D-League, I doubt the Blazers would use him there.
While I disagree with Moore’s assessment that he isn’t strong enough, he just isn’t big enough to defend most NBA centers. Athletic? Yes, but you can’t teach size.

Nate and KP must be desperate for 3pt shooting

After leading the league in 3pt% for much of last year, they have slumped to 14th in the league this year (35%). On top of this, two of their best distance shooters from last year (Outlaw, Rudy) are out for an extended amount of time this year. Portland relies on good 3pt shooting and good rebounding in their attack. This potentially addresses one of those needs. We’re still going to be getting killed in the paint and on the boards as soon as Joel leaves the game, though.

He seems to play solid D. Guy loves to go into the paint once he catches with back to basket, I haven’t seen him turn baseline once… from either side. Doesn’t seem to attack the rim though, lots of shots coming across the lane

by two4larue on Dec 17, 2009 11:14 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

Similar to LMA but different

So what I watched, and granted it was a small sample size. He generally had more of a post game than LMA, not nearly the midrange game, but a pretty nice looking three point stroke. Seemed especially fond of the corner 3 and the straight on 3.

On further review, when posting from the left block, he turned left shoulder into the paint 80% of the time. and right shoulder from the Rt block 67% of the time. I never really saw him attack the rim, a couple times he linked moves and went rt hand from the rt block, and often went across the lane for a rt hand floating hook from the left block.

don't you think

that if there was an available 7ft+ center, that didn’t foul and knew how to block shots and play defensive, another team would have picked him up by now? the d-league is full of half-nots of the nba. this guy was the best PF/C available. that means what you see is better then pretty much everyone else in the d-league. did you want us to pick up a 7+ft center that didnt know how to play at all?

by jeremyse on Dec 17, 2009 11:20 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

Sounds like a good deal

LMA is kinda banged up with the ankle and I dunno if his knee is still sore. Anyways a guy that can fill in at the 4 and 5 while the guys get a break sounds good to me.

Hope Tolliver can play minutes at the 5

Because, with Pendergraph coming back, we’ll actually have 4 PFs (other than Tolliver) on the active roster (LMA, Howard, Dante, Penders). Maybe the idea is to pair Tolliver up with LMA and let LMA play the 5 for stretches.

According to the realgm tradechecker

Tolliver cannot be traded until March 17th.

Players with Trade Restrictions
Anthony Tolliver from Portland

Tolliver was recently signed a contract and as a result he cannot be traded until Mar 17, 2010.

So if AT plays well, he stays in PDX for the remainder of the season

When reached 40 years of following Portland basketball you have, be as passionate of the Trail Blazers you will not!
