For Rokas Jokubaitis, whom the Knicks selected in the second round of the NBA Draft last week, the most likely plan is that he spends the upcoming season overseas in Spain, where he signed a four-year contract with Barcelona last month. It makes sense for the 20-year-old and makes sense for the Knicks, who bolstered their point guard position this week in free agency, as well as by drafting a point guard, Miles McBride, two spots ahead of him.
But as he gets his first taste of the NBA, participating in practices with the Knicks' Summer League team in Las Vegas and scheduled to play in the first three games starting Sunday, Jokubaitis didn’t rule out that if he can open eyes there is a possibility that the plans could change.
