Poor man's Dragic, whose peak was a homeless man's Petrovic.

We passed on Jared Butler three times.

Can’t knock the exhaustive scouting and research! I think he’s gonna be a hall of famer, based entirely on how cool the Spanish announcer makes his last name sound. We will see whose methodology reigns supreme.

That’s more than Elfrid passed in a typical first quarter.

More like first half of the season.

Leon just drafted new age Dragic in the 2nd round. If he was declaring for the draft this year he would easily be a first round pick. Knicks new FO don’t miss

Can't believe we got the best player in the 2021 NBA draft with the 34th pick.

I really like his game... always seems under control

A lot of his buckets seem to be off penetration, I do wonder if he's athletic enough to continue to do that in the NBA or not.

Looks like he has a herky jerky game, that should translate, plus he's playing in the 2nd best league in the world.

I wonder where he'd be drafted if he was in this upcoming draft

A scout I speak to recently moved to Europe, he says Rokas is looking good...like really good.

Looked average in summer league, and have doubts about his game translating with the physicality of the NBA. Rooting for the kid though, but doubt he's even gonna play a single minute for us anywhere in the near future.

He’ll be in a trade package for Harrison Barnes - the prototypical Thibodeau player.

The Kings don't want our garbage :lol:

I thought he played well until he got hurt.

I like what I see. Nice that he's doing it in the Euro league too.
