COACH BURKHAMER SAYS: "Dwight Tolbert gives us that big wing that has always been so productive in our system. Dwight will be relied upon to score the basketball for us. He is very good faced up and can make shots to the three-point line or put the ball on the floor and get to the rim. We also feel Dwight will be able to post smaller guards and should be a force on the glass. Dwight will give us some flexibility with how we can play."
