MAJOR Knicks News on Rokas Jokubaitis & Precious Achiuwa + NY Knicks Summer League Roster

[Music] will Ros jacobius be playing in the summer league with the New York Knicks in a couple of weeks we’re going to break that down on today’s shows reports are coming out that he is expected to play and join the Knicks in Las Vegas for the summer league session after Lithuania failed to qualify for the Olympics you’re watching Nicks Now by chat sports I am your host Marshall Green we’ll talk about Ros we’ll also take a look at the New York Knicks entire summer league roster schedule and then we’ll close the show talking about pre tuua and the latest that is coming out about his free agency this was the report though from Daria sport I know I’m saying that wrong I apologize I’m giving it my best effort but the article translated in English says a change of plans after not getting a ticket for the games Lithuanian fa Fair to qualify for the games changed the summer planning for yakobus who will still have to wait to start his vacation and as sport could confirm the Barcelona point guard will play in the NBA Summer League with the New York Knicks a franchise that has its rights in the American League after having been selected 34th in the 2021 NBA draft but having been transferred to New York as he was drafted by OKC Barcelona was given the green light to yakabi to his participation in the tournament and he will soon join the team’s Dynamic so for the first time since 2021 Ros will be back wearing a New York Knicks uniform and playing in the summer league like he did in 2021 he played in just three games for the Knicks in that summer league session total 29 minutes and had 19 total points and two assists he looks pretty decent though in the Olympic qualifiers over the last four games unfortunately his country did not qualify but he looked all right and he actually shot the ball extremely well from distance he was 5 of 12 from downtown shooting 41.7% struggled a little bit from the field but I like to see him really be able to knock down that outside shot when it comes to Ros you’re getting a downhill playmaker with Elite passing skills and a growing ability to hit that outside shot 8.8 points per game and four assists in those four games but even last summer in the feea World Cup three games played shot 57 % from Deep had 12 points shot 50% overall from the field north of five assists and north of four rebounds look you draft a guy 34th overall it’s because he’s got talent and that’s exactly what yakobus has it’s just been the opportunity has not been there for him and now with the additions of this team and we’re starting to get a more close look and solidified core of this roster you got to ask the question does Leon Rose have Ros jacobites in his long-term plans I think if you asked him a year ago the answer was closer to yes than it is right now I do think the addition and selecting of Tyler KCK who the Nicks gave a four-year guaranteed contract the most money a second round pick has ever gotten makes him a little bit Expendable so joins this team in the draft and ni make a long-term commitment and a hefty Financial commitment for a second round pick for what seems for him to be like the backup point guard of the future for this organization we’ve also seen that Leon and Tom Tibido like to have three point guards on the team that can run the offense maybe that means someone like Ryan Arch yako is going to sign in the off season or maybe you bring over Rus jaidas but I am excited to see him play and I’m excited to him see him play alongside some of the ni New York Knicks rookies pcome dier as well as Tyler KCK AR Ariel Huck porty as well as Kevin mcculler will be exciting to see what yakobus can do and if he does enough to convince the Knicks that he should be over there next year or if he just wants to be and he earns a roster spot pick a point guard though of the future for me in the comments section if you can only have one of these players be your point guard coming off the bench for the next couple of years who would it be is it Ros is it Tyler kak let me know your thoughts in the comments section and I also just want to say thank you to every single person that has subscribed to this

major shout out to every single one of you so if you’re new and you’re looking for the best place on YouTube to watch free informative entertaining updates every day on the Knicks subscribe to the channel right now all righty let’s close the show talking about summer league we’ll give you the schedule in the roster let’s go piece by piece of this rookie class and just talk a little bit about what we could be expecting in Las Vegas Pome dier the late first round pick for the Knicks a lot of stuff went around his name not going to be signed to this team going to be a draft in stash creating cap space for hardenstein doesn’t matter he’s on the Knicks he signed an 80% partially guaranteed rookie deal he’s going to play in summer league and if he plays well enough he’s probably going to be on the Knicks next year but maybe spends a little bit more time in the G League I know a lot of people didn’t love my reaction to the pick that was more so CU I couldn’t pronounce his name and that’s why I said it was my worst nightmare but look he’s young he’s raw but he is T ented and he’s 18 almost 6’9 can put it on the deck can pull up from all three levels can get to the cup and score it he’s got offensive skill has to grow the rest of his game will be very intriguing to see how he fares in his first games in this summer league I want to see him come out with the green light and just jack up shots and let him go offensively we’ll see what dice does as I assume he is coaching the summer league Knicks once again most Rook the rookie I’m most excited about though is Tyler Co I wanted him to be the pick for the when they selected dier but coak Falls the second round they give him that four-year guaranteed contract and I expect coak to play really well he’s going to set the table he’s going to run the show he’s going to get the ball to dier and mcculler and other rookies and players on this team where they could do damage a guy that has a lot of burn under his belt a lot of miles and I would say overall just experience from his long college career should be able to come into the summer league and be an immediate Difference Maker and showcase that talent that have had him selected at this spot that he was Kevin mcculler Jr one of the largest Sliders in this draft class some people thought that Knicks were going to take him in the first round they get him at pick 56 I’m excited for him high energy high IQ he’s got skill he can compete on defense he’s going to get up and down likes to play in transition really someone that I think is going to make an impact early on in his career on the defensive end and I can’t wait to see him play in the summer league Ario hucky the 2024 Mr Irrelevant um it’ll be fun to see what does in summer league a lot of people have put a lot of high hopes up there his tape is fun he flashes skill he has Dynamic ability he’s athletic he has the potential it seems like in film to be a guy that could be a rotational big down the line but I just think it’s unfair to put any sort of expectations on late second round picks in their rookie Seasons but in summer leag he’ll be going against his peers people his age same type of experience let’s see if he can stand out amongst the crowd the full summer league Ros as we have been told here at nix Now by chat sports is as follows Tyler KCK as well as Rus jacobius Alex oconnell who the Nick signed I believe to a 10day con or exhibit 10 or maybe that was uh just for the summer league but he is going to be playing so is pom D so is samello sely I know I’m not saying that right either mevin mcculler Jr Dwayne Washington Jacob toppen dayquan Jeff all expected to be on the summer league roster as well as Huck py we know of 10 players as well as uh Justin Lewis will be there as well could maybe add another player or two who here is that full summer league schedule for the next game one just a couple days away that’ll tip off on the 13th maybe we go live on the channel for that unfortunately won’t be able to do the rest of them because i’ have my wisdom teeth taken out on the 16th so puffy drugged up face Marsh will probably not be able to do summer league games the rest of the way but game one on ESPN 2 on the 13th 5:00 p.m. eastern time then you play the Nets on the 16th 4:30 p.m. eastern time on NBA TV the next game the very next day against the Kings also on NBA TV just an hour earlier in the day and the last guaranteed game or last game against a known opponent will be against the Detroit Pistons on the 19th at 700 p.m. and that fifth game is to be determined it matters how the rest of the tournament shakes out but it’s expected to be on the 22nd or the 23rd of July will you even watch the summer league I will I love watching it it’s always fun at least for the first couple of games not the highest um Talent level of basketball but a lot of grit a lot of grind a lot of effort people fighting for the lives will you watch let me know in the comments section I just want to close the show talking about press Thea who is still a free agent the New York Knicks are no longer hard capped at that first apron and they need to go out and get it done precious tuua should be playing for the New York Knicks next season Nicks have his bird rights so they can pay him essentially whatever it is going to cost to bring him back and what he did as a spot starter a guy coming off the bench giving you weak side defense the strength the physicality played really well next to ogn and OB did really good things for the Knicks in limited action when asked upon he did really well there’s no reason not to resign prea he should be on this team you need a backup four who could maybe play some five I do still think the Knicks are going out there and trying to find ways to add a backup center to this roster we’ve talked about Nick Richards we’ve talked about Walker Kessler I’m sure pra’s name is in that hat there’s no reason to bring him back or there’s no reason not to bring him back he’s a good player and he’s affordable and you can go over the salary cap to sign him you can pretty much give him whatever he wants and you still have the veteran mle how about we go out we sign press to Chua and then you use the or the uh taxpayer mid-level exception to go out and sign maybe a veteran point guard or you trade for a big man still moves to be made to fill out this roster for the ni are going to be ready to compete in the NBA this season and I am excited to see the product that Leon Rose has built also tomorrow male Bridges will be speaking to the media the first press conference New York Knicks will hold in three seasons maybe Leon Rose will speak to the media maybe he won’t who knows make sure you are following me on social media we’ll keep you up to date with that Marshal greenore Marshal greencore hit me up over there and let’s go ni [Music]
