Tokoto Contributing On Defense

Posted Jan 19, 2014
For as spectacular as J.P. Tokoto's dunks can be, his work on the defensive end of the court for the Tar Heels might be a better demonstration of his unique athleticism. In Saturday's 82-71 win over Boston College, the 6-5 sophomore displayed all of his athletic attributes while holding in check BC guard Olivier Hanlan, who entered the game as the ACC's second leading scorer.
