J.P. Tokoto sees an opening when he passes on his senior year

Posted Apr 10, 2015
J.P. Tokoto revealed Wednesday that he's leaving school early and declaring for the NBA Draft. A 6-foot-5 wing with an unreliable jump shot and no guarantee of being drafted, Tokoto told Yahoo! Sports that he can be "more than just the defensive player who can occasionally dunk the ball. I know I can be so much more, but I'm not sure that I'm pushed to be that much more (in college)."
