The rookie scale shows if he gets drafted 13th - he will make just under $10M for the first 3 years. [URL unfurl="true"]https://therookiewire.usatoday.com/2020/11/22/2020-21-nba-rookie-scale-contract-first-round-picks/[/URL] Up or down a bit doesn't move the needle that much (relatively) - and getting out now means he is one year closer to the real deal (if he is good enough to get a second contract). He 100% should go. Staying another year - lets say he moves up to 6 - and then his deal is worth 15M in the first 3 years (pretax of course). Just isn't enough upside to justify waiting. IMO he would need to drop into the mid 20s to justify staying another year. That doesn't mean I think he is going to be an amazing pro - lots of draft picks aren't. But this is about money. He should go. [/QUOTE]
