Re: Knicks select Rokas Jokubaitis (34th overall)
Posted: Fri Aug 13, 2021 12:54 pm
I think tonight will be the last game he plays in Vegas. Apparently, he will fly out Saturday back to Europe.

For sure, he looked nervous that first game (which is why I wasn't worried.)
But he looks VERY composed for someone so young. That is what you get from playing in a pro league.
I hope we let Vildoza go and bring the guy in. Even though we have IQ and Deuce as backups, I think having insurance around in case Rose or Kemba are out for a while.

Nah, I do like having his rights but I think he would be much better suited playing full-time overseas in terms of him reaching his full potential.
Vildoza looks really bad....I guess he gets preseason to try and show something, anything.

I agree. Also, when did you start using a Macho Man avatar, I was thinking about using one a few days ago

I read Vildoza is hurt. I mean that makes sense as how do you go from playing as a professional overseas to stinking it up in Summer League?
I agree that Rokas would do better with another year of experience overseas, but like I said, I was thinking insurance.
Anyway, I think he can always be bought out according to what I heard about his contract. (Unless it can't be during the season.)

Vildoza has a sore right foot. He's considered day-to-day. No wonder he looked so bad.

I liked how he went from a nervous wreck in his first game to a guy who was almost demanding the ball. Kid has game and confidence. I think he's going to be decent

Reminds me of Joe Ingles a little.

I guess the form on the jump shot, but that's about it?
