Los Angeles Lakers: 5 veteran minimum candidates to help the bench

5. Anthony Tolliver

The Los Angeles Lakers will more than likely lose some shooting production this offseason. So they will need some retooling in that department. Anthony Tolliver has built a solid career on doing just that.

He is a career 37.3% 3-point shooter. Although he struggled as a whole last season playing for three different organizations, he found his groove late in the season with the Memphis Grizzlies and shot 41.5% from deep with them in 13 games, while starting four.

He is 34 years old and doesn’t provide much more than shooting. But the Lakers have enough guys on the floor that are defensive-oriented to help mask that. So Tolliver can do what he does best and that is spot up from 3-point range.

He was very good from the corner range as he was 17-39 which amounts for a 43.5% average. With the Lakers, he would have plenty of space to operate in the corners and could prove very lethal on kick-outs that collapse the defense.

He is worth kicking the tires on and could be had at a veteran minimum deal possibly. He would be an upgrade over Jared Dudley at the very least.

Also here’s a small flashback to give you a laugh.
