Another suitor for Tolliver was the Los Angeles Clippers, who met with the forward at his home in Dallas Sunday night.
At 6 feet, 8 inches and 240 pounds, Tolliver has good size for a forward. He can also shoot it. Tolliver had a breakout season as a shooter for the Detroit Pistons last year, knocking down 43.6 percent of his 3-point tries on 4.6 attempts per game. He averaged 8.9 points and 3.1 rebounds per game.
