Rokas Jokubaitis, the 23-year-old Lithuanian guard drafted 34th overall by the New York Knicks in the 2021 NBA Draft, is set to play on the Knicks’ Summer League roster in Las Vegas. This will be a prime opportunity for Jokubaitis to showcase his skills and potential fit with the team.
After playing three games for the Knicks in the 2021 Summer League (and a total of 29 minutes), Jokubaitis has continued to develop his game with FC Barcelona in Spain. Despite having one year remaining on his contract with Barcelona, his participation in the upcoming Summer League became possible following Lithuania’s elimination from the Olympic qualifiers.
