Report: J.P. Tokoto won’t sign with Philadelphia

Posted Jul 31, 2015
J.P. Tokoto entered the NBA draft knowing he wasn’t a first-round pick. He just wanted to turn pro. But, even after the 76ers drafted him with the No. 58 pick, he won’t necessarily get an NBA contract. John Finger of CSN Philly: "An NBA source said Tokoto likely will not sign this year and will opt to play overseas or in the D-League." If Tokoto sticks for the league minimum, that’s probably more than he’d make overseas. (NBC Sports)
