Anthony Tolliver stays ready.
While the sharpshooting big man hasn’t always had a consistent role in the Wolves’ rotation, he was huge in Friday’s win over the Knicks.
Tolliver finished with 16 points on five-of-nine shooting, and critically he was four-of-five from three. If Tolliver can shoot like that, it’s a huge deal for the Wolves. Tolliver’s floor spacing out of the power forward spot was great tonight, especially because the Wolves’ typical power forward Taj Gibson was forced into the starting lineup.
When Tolliver shoots like this he’ll find a way to stay in the Wolves’ rotation, even when Minnesota is healthy.
