Message: [QUOTE="bobbyinaz, post: 3831281, member: 3853"] The NBA draft is very different now than what it used to be. The days of huge $70+MM guaranteed contracts is over. Now the goal for kids is actually to get to their 2nd contract as fast as possible because that's where the massive contracts are. If a kid is a lock to be a 1st rounder he needs to go and take whatever the guaranteed money is. I think I read that Zion's guarantee is somewhere around $40MM and the last pick in the 1st round got around $10MM guaranteed. Bouk or any kid that is going to be a 1st round pick needs to get to the league as soon as possible in order to get the clock started on when they are eligible for the 2nd contract. That's where the big payday comes [/QUOTE]
