NBA JAM Sighting




Toney helps cause the turnover and knows how to space the floor with a shot from deep




Bottom Line: Toney is one of Muss' best pick ups in regards to position less basketball. He can mix it up down low if needed but also a threat from outside to attack or hit the three. Above average defender, especially with his hands in which he excels at getting deflections and steals. Isn't the fastest or flashest looking player on the court but is sneaky athletic. The way he moves on the court gives off some Mason Jones vibes. Should be in the mix for most minutes played with how many different shoes he can fill.
