Summary:

Rokas Jokubaitis is a smart, skilled playmaker that can shoot and pass the basketball, and he can effectively run the team with the ball in his hands. He is a solid game manager at the point, and he is a very competitive player on the court, but his average physical tools may limit his upside as a prospect for the next level. Right now, he projects to be a second round prospect for the 2021 draft, and his strong ability to knock down jumpers combined with having solid basketball IQ could allow him to be an effective rotation player in the NBA.
