@Kairuolis depending on which leagues rules lol, even so thibs plays in a slow ass tempo just like the euroleague and the knicks were extremely successful with that. You saying Barca beating the knicks is an extremely funny statement. None of our plays relied crazily on baiting fouls either.
Kairuolis barcelona is led by 58 yr old pau gasol and Mirotic a guy who couldn’t last in the NBA hahhaa Barcelona wouldn’t even beat the Houston rockets who were the worst team in the league 😂 I suggest you not waste your time watching a league full of players all wishing they were even in the Gleague. 🤣
@Kairuolis no you're just having extreme bias towards the euroleague, if those old Barca players were to play in the NBA where the pace is MUCH higher they have no chance whatsoever. Sounds like YOU don't know what you're talking about
@Kairuolis did u read my earlier statement or did u just choose to instantly say I don't know anything about the euroleague? Knicks play at an extremely slow pace now and were actually really successful last season. Thibs is a coach known for his 90s grittiness and his defensive schemes. Knicks are for sure the better team you're just pulling out the knicks shit team narrative from previous years while over exaggerating the qualities of an old Barca team
Maybe it will be interesting that Beno Udrih has played season in Zalgiris, Kaunas with Rokas Jokubaitis being on second team and I could bet that they had trainings together.
Funny that Beno was a coach for the Westchester Knicks in 2020 and then he got hired by the Pelicans as a development coach. Pelicans had the 35th pick and would have probably drafted him if the Knicks didn't.
@@positivedirection9503 Why would we? We have PG-Quickley, McBride SG-Barrett, Grimes How is he getting any minutes Just leave him in Europe for a year or 2
@@AB-xf7li What does him being white & from the euro leagues have to do with his play..? His shot form is very similar to Ginobili.. The way he runs the floor & creates space is similar to Ginobili.. You ever watched basketball..? Ya bozos kill me.. I swear..
@@KnowThyself47 I probably wouldn't even half to...Bleijenbergh's stock is higher. Jokubaitis runs that PNR great though... If I'm a winning team in need of a PG, sure why not? One could probably trade back to land Jokubaitis and get a good value pick.
How drafting someone at 34 can bite you? Second round player is like burger in tourist place. No one expects to be great, but time after time it can hit bulleye.
Who here after knicks drafted him?
You already know
Yesssirrr. I think we got a gem
@@Adiossean 5 months later i can tell he's gonna defo be in the league. 16 points per 21 minutes in so many games is amazing
WELCOME TO THE NYK
Is he any good?
@@goattygoat9489 6'4 dragic type pg. dropped 2018 31p on lamelo in his country.
@@Yogenachi I like it 👍 LGK!
We finally drafting guards that can pass and shoot 😂
This guy looks pretty good I can see some Manu and Dragic in his game.
Dragic w/o the speed
@@RafaelBarloweNBADraftjunkies His idol is dragic, he tries to play like him and watch all dragic games.
I wonder if that comparison came in part because both guys you named are also lefties
@@jihadbrown7584 yes they are lefties and they have a similar way of playing especially the PnR.
@@Lecrap yes he do, watch his interwievs if you understand lithuanian.
Looks like a good complement to quick and toppin. I fw it
Knicks fans in here trying to learn how to pronounce this dude's name.
Just call him ruckus lol
artic king stfu
Raw-cuss Yow-coo-buy-tiss
Yo!-Cu-Bite-this
Yo-cuu-bye-tis
Couple years in Barcelona with coach Saras and he is ready for NY.
Kairuolis Barcelona is a western conference finals team? 😂... every G league team is better than staying in European league.

Watching him in Europe was fun I hope he can have a successful time In the NBA
Considering we landed McBride, Grimes and this dude. We clearly won this draft
Dont forget about Jerico Sims!
As a Knicks fan the Hornets one million percent won the draft but I really like the picks the Knicks made
future knick legend
Knicks about to "bring the Rokas" with Joku-bai-tis. Wu-Tang Clan style! 🙃
That would be hilarious!!
I like his handles and vision combo
Fran Fraschilla says Rokus Jokubaitis is a Beno Udrih clone. Beno Udrih played 14 NBA seasons. Hoping for the best! Let's go Knicks!🤞🏻

@@krilauris That's interesting.
@@belhariry Very interesting comment. Never knew that!
Great video, super informative! Looking forward to seeing this kid play in the NBA.
Hopefully he comes over and is not a stash guy
Welcome to New York!
I see a lot of Steve Nash in him if he’s really 6’5 I’d be scared
Rokas got the strokas!!
I can’t hear Walt saying this rn😂
Few more years in Barcelona and will be ready for Knicks
Floor :Steve Nash Ceiling: The Euro Ja-Morrant!
Lol are you drunk or 12 years old Steve Nash is HOF, his floor is more Corey Joe and Ceiling Steve Nash
A taller and more aggressive Pablo Prigioni!
Welcome To NY 🤟🏽
Wanted Vernz......
@@finessefulj8489 we can still get Vrenz at 58 tho
dont forget the Barcelona bought him, so he gets to choose where to play. I think the answer is Barcelona
Roooookasssssss
Definite draft and stash
Heard he may try to get a buyout to join us sooner
@@positivedirection9503
Why would we?
We have
PG-Quickley, McBride
SG-Barrett, Grimes
How is he getting any minutes
Just leave him in Europe for a year or 2
I see a lil manu ginobili in this kid..
I’d also add he reminds me of tony kukoc.
@@Equint77
2 lazy comps
Why?cuz he's a white euro? Stop
@UClZHGPttti6ZGMnFCGisNyg no dumba** because he is a lefty and an unorthodox style of play. Just like Manu and Dragic.
@@chrisbranch662
Unorthodox how?
What a lazy comp
He is nothing like Kukoc or Ginobili
@@AB-xf7li What does him being white & from the euro leagues have to do with his play..? His shot form is very similar to Ginobili.. The way he runs the floor & creates space is similar to Ginobili.. You ever watched basketball..? Ya bozos kill me.. I swear..
He onna knicks he look nice
he's at least 6'5
Let’s. Go. Knicks.
SHOUTOUT TO MY KNICKS FANS IM GOING RIGHT BACK TO KNICKS FAN TV AFTER THIS
Might not even be a Knick I smell another trade coming
Only 19
I think he could contribute right away
Would you draft him over Vrenz Bleijenbergh?
@@KnowThyself47 I probably wouldn't even half to...Bleijenbergh's stock is higher. Jokubaitis runs that PNR great though... If I'm a winning team in need of a PG, sure why not? One could probably trade back to land Jokubaitis and get a good value pick.
@@KnowThyself47
draft him means? I don't know how this NBA system works including NBA draft/colleges league.
The NBA Draft is on 7/29/2021 @ 8pm on ESPN eastern time so be there to experience it and follow along
@@KnowThyself47 Of course!!! And my mock draft will finally be done too...
WELCOME TO NY TINGIS PINGUS 2.0
I hope drafting Jakobaitis doesn't come back to bite us.
How drafting someone at 34 can bite you? Second round player is like burger in tourist place. No one expects to be great, but time after time it can hit bulleye.
@@pauliusdzikas1963 nice analogy 😂
Having Jakobaitis will make it tough for other teams to fight us
its Jokubaitis
NBA - Superstars are lights out shooters or 6'6-7'0 freakish athletes
Knicks - Yeah we refuse to ever draft anyone like that but thanks
