Rokas Jokubaitis’s plans do not change. The talented player did not withdraw his application to participate in the NBA Rookie Exchange. According to league rules, a 20-year-old Lithuanian could still withdraw from the newcomer exchange before midnight on July 19. However, sources from BasketNews confirmed that Žalgiris does not change their plans.
Rokas Jokubaitis
| Position: | PG |
| Age: | twenty |
| Height: | 192 cm |
| Weight: | 88 kilograms |
| Place of birth: | Mazeikiai, Lithuania |
ESPN journalist Jonathan Givony also announces that if Jokubaitis is called up to the NBA rookie trade and immediately moves to the strongest basketball league, Kaunas “Žalgiris” will receive a ransom. If the NBA club that invited the Lithuanian decides to leave him to improve in Europe, the defender will wear a Barcelona jersey.
ESPN forecasts a 46th call on the Rookie Rookie Exchange, which belongs to the Memphis Grizzlies.
Athletic plans a 41st summit for Jokubaitis, which will be chosen by the San Antonio Spurs. The Ringer ranks the defender 50th among the best newcomers.
These predictions may change after the deadline when NBA talents could still withdraw their applications.
The NBA Rookie Exchange will take place on July 29.
Jokubaitis is one of the top Europeans in the 2021 NBA Rookie Trade. The shares of 19-year-old German Franz Wagner are top-rated: ESPN is planning its ninth call-up, which belongs to the Sacramento Kings.
BasketNews sources claim that 19-year-old Ariel Hukporti, a 19-year-old German who competed at Kėdainiai’s Nevėžys-Optibet this season, remains on the newcomer exchange.
Another Lithuanian defender, Arnas Velička, is also requesting the NBA rookie trade. This year, the 21-year-old basketball player can be invited among the 60 rookies automatically. NBA watchers aren’t predicting Velicki’s call. According to BasketNews, if a Lithuanian is not selected in the rookie exchange, in the NBA summer league in Las Vegas, the defender will wear a Denver Nuggets jersey.
