Jokubaitis gave an interview to the Turkish website Eurosport and shared his experience with Šarūnas Jasikevičius and Martin Schiller.
“Jasikevičius is currently one of the best coaches in the world of basketball. I had the opportunity to work with him endlessly, and it is even more rewarding because he has been an incredible player in the past.
From her I learned to better direct the ball during the pass, to get caught in a better position, I improved my shooting technique, physical data. Working with her was a great experience, but at the same time it was not easy. He is always angry. Very angry. He doesn’t hesitate to give a sharper answer, but I can only say one good word about it, ”Jokubaitis said of his experience with the former Žalgiris strategist.
Speaking of working with the new Kaunas team leader. Coach Martin Schiller, the young player did not hide that the atmosphere within the team has changed radically.
“It is still difficult to name the main differences, but I can say that practically nothing has changed in defense. Like the system and the movement of the ball on the field, we still have to play aggressively.
In attack we play freer and faster. Schiller had the greatest impact on the atmosphere both on-site and off-site. He came from America and brought positivity to the team, “Jokubaitis said.
Jokubaitis also said that he had to interact with two NBA clubs and has yet to make a final decision on his involvement with the NBA Rookie Exchange.
“I have not yet made a decision (on the participation in the stock exchange). I will finally make a decision in the next few weeks. The rookie exchange has been postponed for another month, so the Euroleague season will have started and still there is uncertainty about the next NBA season.
During Zoom, I interacted with the Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors. I know the 76ers are lacking in defensive positions, but I don’t really care which team I play on. Playing the NBA alone would be amazing, “Jokubaitis said.
