Anthony Tolliver

Through the good, bad, and the ugly for the Kings this season, Tolliver was always a bright spot. On the offensive side of the ball, Tolliver was the ideal stretch-four for Sacramento as he averaged 7.1 points per game while shooting 39.1% from beyond the arc. As a defender, Tolliver was alright as he averaged 3.7 rebounds, 0.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks in the 22.7 minutes he played.

Bottom line, Anthony was a solid contributor for the Kings on the court, but his leadership is what made him special. Whether it was him galvanizing the team during rough times or helping out the young talent that filled the roster, Tolliver was there for his teammates and was the ideal leader for the Kings considering the team’s current situation.
