I understand, just want to provide my opinion if some clouds cover Jokubaitis' situation over here. Bringing him in 2021 would have done nothing for the Knicks.

Is Rokus staying in Europe for the '22-'23 season?

He's still 19? Or will turn 20?
Already 21+
Born: November 19, 2000 (Age: 21-174d)
So, he'll be age 22 during the 2022-23 season and 23 during the 23-34 season.
Age 22 sounds like he should come over, but age is a number etc. If he needs two more year, he needs two more years.
Knicks hopefully have an assessment of his game, his growth path and a realistic path and plan regarding players they have under contract, in particular D Rose. If they are going to keep him, and they plan to use IQ at PG, what's the point of Joku sitting on the bench as the 3rd or 4th PG?
I'd think, at the least, Knicks need to move D Rose, though I doubt they will, or wait a year until D Rose expires.

He's said he doesn't want to come over if he's not gonna get minutes
So since it's Thibs who's allergic to trying anything new, Rokas isn't coming over next year
Because nothing is gonna change, we're gonna have a PG rotation of Burks/Rose next year, with Quick and McBride being the emergency backups when Rose gets injured, so there'll be no minutes for Rokas. And that's assuming we don't do something like draft TyTy or sign another PG, or trot out Kemba again
Which is probably good for him and us, give him a year to develop in Europe while giving us an extra year of control on his contract.

See, when you say stuff like this, it makes me doubt the rest of your evaluations, because this is an obvious retcon
Grimes didn't get minutes until injuries forced Thibs to play him, and only after playing well and injuries continuing to pile up did he continue to get minutes
If anything, this is an indication that Thibs is clueless, because he couldn't recognize Grimes' value in practice, because there's no way that Grimes wouldn't have been good if he had gotten minutes from the start.

When have the Knicks not had clutter on the roster? Every off-season we load up with new clutter, so we can sell shiney new objects to the fans.
