Lithuanian s new core in the backcourt can score and organize, should the Knicks find a way to sign him as soon as possible?

In the first group match of the men's basketball European Championship, Lithuania defeated the British team 94-70, achieving a good start in the European Championship; while the British team suffered a major defeat from the beginning.

In this game, Lithuanian starting point guard Rokas Jokubitis's performance was still very stable. Yokubetis played 17 minutes and 50 seconds in the game, made 5 of 11 shots, 1 of 1 from outside the three-point line, and 1 of 4 free throws, and scored comprehensive data of 12 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists and 1 steal. He also had 1 turnover and 4 fouls, and the plus and negative value also reached +21. Yokubatis showed comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end, and he also scored a lot of points through various methods. He was able to use breakthroughs to complete the score, but he also had a certain threat of mid- and long-distance shooting. As the team's backcourt core, Yokubetis' performance in organization and tandem offense is also remarkable. Not only that, Yokubetis can also provide stable performance on the defensive end. Yokubetis actually doesn't play much, but he has also played his talents and value in his limited playing time and made considerable contributions to the team's victory.

Yokubatis was born in November 2000. He is 24 years old, 193cm tall and 83kg. He is a backcourt star from Lithuania selected by the New York Knicks in the 34th pick in the second round of the 2021 NBA Draft. Although it has been many years since Yokubatis was selected, the Knicks are still holding his NBA signing rights. Yokubetis played for the Israeli League giants Tel Aviv Maccabi last season. In the Israeli League last season, Yokubatis made a total of 29 appearances, averaging 23.3 minutes per game, averaging 11.4 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 0.9 steals, 2 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 49.3%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.2%, and free throw shooting percentage of 89%. In the Champions League last season, Yokubetis made a total of 28 appearances, averaging 24.5 minutes per game, averaging 12.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1 steal, 2.6 turnovers and 1.7 fouls, shooting percentage of 54.4%, three-point shooting percentage of 37.1%, and free throw shooting percentage of 85.7%.

Yokubatis' performance in last season was actually quite outstanding. Although he is a young player and has just joined Maccabi in Tel Aviv, he quickly became the team's starting point guard and was able to perform competitively enough in both the Israeli League and the Champions League. He has also become a very popular young point guard in the European arena. Being able to perform at this level on such a stage at this age can also show Yokubatis' maturity. Yokubatis will join Bundesliga giant Bayern Munich in the new season. If nothing unexpected happens, he will continue to play the role of the core of the backcourt. I wonder what kind of performance Yokubetis can perform in the new season. Will the Knicks consider the possibility of signing him after seeing his performance like this?
