didnt watch but looking at the box score, looks like everyone sucked besides rokas

It’s like when lil bitches make subliminal records, if it ain’t directed directly at me, I don’t respect it

The Kolek vs Rokas wars are shaping up nicely

Rokas and Kolek both look NBA ready. Rokas definitely a more complete player right now and looks more controlled and seasoned out there.
Kolek has great vision and can pass but his body and defense are gonna hold him back

Kolek just needs to come in to camp fully tattooed (Birman style) in order to take his game to the next level.

A bit upset Rokas isn’t signed. He actually can play backup PG in the NBA this season. Kolek is great on offense but will still take at least a season, if ever, defensively.

Nobody on this SL team should see 1 second of nba action this year
Jokubaitis is the closest thing to an nba ready player but I doubt he’d even fit in our rotation and game plan

I'm with you bud. Rokas looks like he can be Brunson's back up and play some combo guard 2 as well.
I love Kolek, but he will need to sit this season and learn. He needs to get stronger physically and work on his defensive footwork and situational awareness.
^and there's nothing wrong with that either. He is a kid.

Deuce is the only reason why I would say Joku doesn't fit rotation wise but if he's moved, you have to bring Rokas in.

I could see bringing him in to sit at the end of the bench in case something happens to Bridges or Donte or Brunson or Payne but I don’t know if he would accept that role instead of continuing to play in Europe. Which previously he suggested he wouldn’t because he wants guaranteed minutes

And I don't blame him one bit.

jokubaitis could get brunson real rest. dude is pretty damn well rounded offensively and he looks solid enough to play good defense with deuce next to him

With everything going on in the background - namely our search for a backup center - I will withhold judgement pending our next move.

I think Rokas is a great trade candidate. It would be good for him and our team.
I like him but it's hard to see his real fit.
Kolek is easy, because he can be baby brunson
