In the 2021 NBA Draft, the New York Knicks selected Jokubaitis with the 34th pick, and Tom Thibodeau recently said he would like to see him in Knicks’ uniform. “Rokas next year in the NBA? I don’t know. He is showing good basketball, playing good minutes. Together with Saras, they have a good connection. He is doing well. If he continues like this and stays healthy and productive, this summer will be fantastic,” Valanciunas said.
