J.P. Tokoto takes a gamble with early exit

Posted Apr 10, 2015
J.P. Tokoto is gambling that he can improve his game in time for the June 25 NBA draft. He said he plans to skip his senior season at UNC and see how he makes out against pros. If Tokoto doesn't hire an agent then he has until April 26 to withdraw from the NBA draft, although the way he expressed himself made it sound like he's committed to turning pro. (Durham Herald-Sun)
