Tollefsen is a versatile player who can play multiple positions. He averaged 7.0 points and 3.0 rebounds per game, and shot 51.4 percent from the field and 35.6 percent from 3-point range. Tollefsen is a good player, and he'll be an important addition to Maccabi Rishon LeZion. He'll play in the Israeli league, and it looks like he'll be one of the top players in the league. Tollefsen spent one season in Tucson, joining Arizona as a graduate transfer from San Francisco for the 2015-16 season. The Wildcats had a disappointing season that year, finishing 25-9 overall and 12-6 in the Pac-12, plus a first-round exit in the NCAA Tournament, but Tollefsen was an unsung hero. He was the team's leader in true shooting percentage, effectively scoring at the rim and from the perimeter. Tollefsen also led the Wildcats in assists, and was a key player in the team's offense.
