During his first sting with the Detroit Pistons that started back in December 2014 after being traded for Tony Mitchell, Anthony Tolliver quickly won over fans with how much hustle, heart and leadership he showed on and off the court.
After a couple of season with the Pistons, he signed with the Sacramento Kings in the 2016 offseason, seeing a bump in minutes and production.
However, after just a year with the team he was waived and within a month Stan Van Gundy was signing him to a new deal with the Pistons.
Van Gundy’s tenure as President of Basketball Operations has been a rollercoaster but his faith in Tolliver has been one of his best decisions.
