He has become the absolute core of Lithuania! Should the Knicks really sign him as soon as possible?

In the previous second round of Group B match of the Men's Basketball European Championship, the German team defeated Lithuania 107-88, winning this key victory. After this game, the German team, which won three consecutive victories, increased its record to 3 wins and 0 losses; while the Lithuanian team, which suffered its first defeat since the start of the European Championships, declined to 2 wins and 1 losses.

Although Lithuanian team lost the game, the team's starting point guard Rokas Jokubitis still performed quite outstandingly. Yokubatis played 29 minutes and 50 seconds in the game, made 7 of 15 shots, 1 of 4 from outside the three-point line, and 5 of 6 free throws. He scored the highest score of the team with 20 points plus 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. He also had 5 turnovers and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of -16. Yokubatis also scored a large number of points in various ways on the offensive end. He also has a lot of offensive methods, and he has also demonstrated excellent passing and organizational skills. It is no exaggeration to say that if it weren't for the excellent performances of Yokubatis, we wouldn't know how many points the Lithuanian would lose in this game. Yokubatis is completely the leader of the Lithuanian team, and he also helped the team to hold the lower limit with his own efforts. Since the start of the European Championship, Yokubatis has averaged 23.4 minutes in the first three games, with averaging 17.7 points, 2.7 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.7 steals, 3 turnovers and 2.3 fouls, shooting percentage of 50%, three-point shooting percentage of 57.1%, free throw percentage of 58.3%, and averaging plus-negative value of +11.7. Yokubatis has maintained a very outstanding form in these games. His offensive efficiency and his three-point shooting percentage are very outstanding. His performance in organization and tandem offense is also remarkable, and his role on the defensive end is also quite outstanding. Yokubatis ranks 19th in scoring per game and ranks 2nd in the league in assists per game. In this way, his value to the team is really high.

Yokubatis was born in November 2000. He is 24 years old, 193cm tall and weighs 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 Yokubatis has been selected by the Knicks for many years and has represented the Knicks in the NBA Summer League before, the Knicks have not shown their determination to sign him so far. He has also played in the European arena in these seasons. Yokubatis made great progress last season and has become the core figure of the Israeli League giant Tel Aviv Maccabi. Next season, Yokubatis will join the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. With Yokubatis' performance like this, does the Knicks really not consider the possibility of signing him as soon as possible?
