J.P. Tokoto showing progress as second pro season nears conclusion

Posted Mar 30, 2017
At UNC, J.P. Tokoto felt his biggest strength was in many respects holding him back. He figured his senior year on a loaded roster would be much like his first three — as a weapon on defense and an afterthought on offense. So he left school, became the 58th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. “Do I regret anything on a personal level? Yes and no,” Tokoto said. (The Monitor)
