Knicks Evan Fournier and Rokas Jokubaitis advance to the EuroBasket knockout stage

In case you hadn’t noticed, there’s basketball afoot. The group stage of EuroBasket 2022 finished Wednesday. A pair of Knicks, Evan Fournier (France) and draft-and-stashee Rokas Jokubaitis (Lithuania) made it out of Group B, though it was rarely pretty.

France finished the group stage at 3-2, with losses to Germany and Slovenia. They finished third in their group.

Fournier averaged 15.0 points over five games in the group stage, but he struggled with efficiency, as a 38.2 FG% and 31.4 3P% can attest. He is averaging 3.0 assists per game, however. He had his best performance in a win over Rokas and Lithuania.
