[QUOTE="MDchicago, post: 1930944, member: 10594"] This contract certainly softens the blow of getting drafted as the 38th pick, as he will end up making more over his first four years in the league (~$15.98M [URL='https://www.spotrac.com/nba/chicago-bulls/ayo-dosunmu-74145/cash-earnings/']Link[/URL]) than any 2021 first round pick drafted 16th or later will make over that period (under the typical four year contract signed by first round picks, with team options for the third and fourth years, and using the salary scale applicable to that draft class). He will end up being paid in the range of the four year contracts signed by the 15th ($16.36M) and 16th ($15.55M) picks in his draft class, assuming their teams exercise their third and fourth year team options, so in a financial sense the market has corrected. Ayo also has additional security relative to those players (his third and fourth year are now guaranteed), plus he has a guaranteed $7.5M guaranteed in year 5 that they do not currently have. The $9M net pay estimate above may even be a bit conservative, given the NBAPA max agent commission rate for veteran contracts of 4% (which would be a $840k commission on a $21M contract). Recalling the frustrations of falling into the second round on draft night, so happy it worked out this way for him! [/QUOTE]
