Posted Jul 13, 2012
The Greater N.C. Pro-Am has an endearing looseness. But for Duke's Marshall Plumlee and UNC's J.P. Tokoto, Thursday night's action did have a certain amount of meaning. For Tokoto, a rising freshman and Plumlee, who redshirted last season to work on his body, their play in front of a lively crowd at N.C. Central's McClendon-McDougald Gymnasium marked a debut of sorts. (Fayetteville Observer)
