But I doubt that Rokas wants to come over and not play in the NBA.

He was 9th in MPG for Barcelona last season at 15.5. He’ll surely get less here, but I don’t know his mind. I certainly like him as an end of the bench developmental player (he’s 3 months older than Kolek) then the dreck we had last year. This is how you develop the Sam Hausers of the world.

Kolek has no choice. He signed a contract and pretty much has accept that role.

But to me it’s a no-brainer you have to go with Kolek if you’re the Knicks.

They already signed him to a 4 yr contract, so he has a roster spot unless he is included in a trade. Rokas has NBA level skills and it is up to the Knicks to develop them.

I’d rather him have a roster spot than Washington or Toppin. 10-15 are only for injury/emergency situations. I’d much rather work with Rokas than Washington. Hukporti already has one of the 3 two way spots.

Kolek had 35 asts to 7 tos compared to Rokas 21 to 15. Some of Rokas’ to’s were really ugly too. Rokas can definitely score though, he has a midrange game which Kolek is going to have to develop himself. Rokas was pretty impressive and seemed to improve as SL went on, he definitely looks like an NBA caliber player who deserves to be a 10th-12th man on an NBA roster.

But to me it’s a no-brainer you have to go with Kolek if you’re the Knicks.

real good game so far…

Cleveland Cavaliers F/C Evan Mobley has agreed on a five-year, $224 million maximum rookie contract extension that could become worth as much as $269 million, Joe Smith and Thad Foucher of @wassbasketball tell ESPN.
