Following the NBA draft, first-round prospects are beginning to sign with their respective teams with the start of the 2020-21 season just around the corner on Dec. 22.
Contracts for rookies are each slotted based on where they were drafted. The amount is tied to a certain percentage of the salary cap and fluctuates each season. Players can sign for as much as 120% and as little as 80% of the rookie scale so each contract can be different.
While the amount of each contract is locked in, agents can negotiate different conditions for their clients. This is why some players sign earlier than others. Stipulations can range from salary advancement to payment dates so there are some things to be sorted out.
With teams set to begin training camp in early December, Rookie Wire took a look at the first-round prospects that have signed their contracts already and which ones haven’t to this point.
