Tolliver Brings Watson-Like Mentorship to the Blazers

The Trail Blazers re-tooled roster for the 2019-20 NBA season will require significant contributions from unlikely places in order to replicate last year’s memorable run to the Western Conference Finals. Youngsters like like Zach Collins and Anfernee Simons are on the precipice of major roles. On the other side of the coin, Hassan Whiteside and Kent Bazemore will get a final run at justifying their lofty price points. Lost in the summer shuffle: the veteran presence of Anthony Tolliver.

Tolliver, a 34-year-old floor-spacing forward, will re-join the franchise that gave him a brief chance to crack the roster a decade ago.
