UNC's Tokoto can wow on defense, too
Posted Dec 17, 2012
After throwing the ball away in the backcourt with just under 8 minutes left in Saturday’s first half, freshman J.P. Tokoto responded by sliding his feet, stretching his arms – and halting the ensuing 3-on-1 fast break by hustling, leaping and blocking 6-foot-8 East Carolina forward Maurice Kemp at the rim. And it gave fans yet another idea of what Tokoto can develop into, once the initial miscues stop happening.
