J.P. Tokoto comments on Kentucky, Calipari

Posted Jun 24, 2011
At an NBA Players Association-sponsored Top 100 Camp earlier this month, prospect J.P. Tokoto noted the many so-called one-and-done players at Kentucky. "Kentucky is kind of a factory," he said. "Coach Calipari, give him credit. He's getting them ready in a year. If I was one of the players to be one-and-done, Kentucky would definitely be the spot for me." Tokoto committed to North Carolina this spring. "I see myself playing (multiple years), trying to get my degree," he said. (Lexington Herald-Leader)
