Gamble paying off for Tokoto
Posted Jun 26, 2015
Thursday night, the Philadelphia 76ers thought enough of J.P. Tokoto to acquire him with the 58th pick of the NBA draft. That was a second-round selection, which means Tokoto doesn’t automatically get a guaranteed contract. But Danny Green got a similar deal when he left UNC in 2009, and things turned out OK for him. So far, so good for Tokoto.
