UNC lineup still flush without Tokoto

Posted Apr 10, 2015
UNC still is built to contend for the 2016 national championship. Even with J.P. Tokoto this week announcing he’d declare for the NBA draft — he came out of nowhere with that — UNC still will be a heavyweight next season. Losing Tokoto is kind of a big deal. For all of his clanked jumpers and turnovers, he’s a supremely athletic guy capable of really guarding the perimeter. (Durham Herald-Sun)
