Seems like he probably won’t come over until either Quickley or McBride are no longer on the roster.

Rokas is CAA so I’m sure he’s talking with his agent about the Knicks constantly. Willy was fun while he was here but that was a long time ago.

Just joking... Kinda. The Rok said last year he wasn't coming unless there was a path to minutes. But I'm sure Willy told the Rok about his experience here.

I believe this was before JB was signed, when the knicks were starving for a relevant PG. Now we are stuck in the boredom offseason zone, with nothing else to talk about. Personally I'm curious to see what all the fuss is about with this guy. Since the 1st few pages I've read, you would think by page 20 something, his game should've improved enough to say, why isn't he playing on the roster yet. So I will be watching his game to see if he could even crack the rotation. My guess is his basketball career and the money he's making is better where he's at, than playing in the G-League next to McBride. Is he better than McBride? As far as Thibs assessment, which includes his defense?

Born in Brooklyn, Raised in Queens, Lives in Maryland. The future is bright, I'm a Knicks fan for life!

If he was better that any of our rotation guards he would be in the NBA. He just isn’t good enough to fill a need and might not ever be.

Yeah the only path for minutes is if Quickley is traded for a star. He could technically replace deuce too but that doesn’t open a rotation spot. Seems like Rokas will be needed to fill the backup PG spot after a star trade or not at all. I remember last year there was talk that he had lottery pick value due to his rising star award, but that buzz has died.

Expected him to have a breakout year last season but it wasn't meant to be. Still time for that, but at the moment he doesn't seem like much more than a future role player in the NBA.

For the record, I'm European and based in Europe. I happen to have a lot of exposure on basketball across all levels on the continent.

My guess is this guy never comes and never plays 1 nba minute.

Have you seen him play? He is just too good a floor leader and good scorer in a pro league. I want to see how he is on defense against NBA guards. I think he can be a great bench guy and maybe even start.

No - I haven’t seen any actual extended game footage- only highlights.

So difficult to read but based on highlights I suppose maybe he could be a bench player but he could also be a guy that never gets out of an NBA camp.

I really don’t know just don’t see any quickness and very lefty dependent but certainly hope he turns out great.

Yeah, I got fooled myself with the Luka guy from Argentina we looked into a few years ago I thought Vildoza was going to be a thing. Should have drafted Herb Jones and Deuce along with Simms and Grimes. But team took a shot in a pg. Might still pay off.

He's definitely going to cross the ocean, the question is when and for which team.

He got injured, and I think he sat for a season. Window for him closed. it happens.
