Well maybe but doesn’t it cut both ways in that nobody else is willing to take the risk of paying a high school kid a six figure salary.  Therefore they can set terms.  Plus in most places you can’t sign a contract if you are under 18 so at a minimum you need a parent/guardian involved.  And yeah, you should hire a lawyer to assist you. Maybe  an accountant as well. But unless someone is taking a huge chunk of future earnings I’m not sure it is such a bad deal.  If you end up a star and get Steph Curry money, and OTE gets 4 million/year they did great. If you are the end of the bench guy earning the league minimum and OTE only gets $10000 it’s a loser deal.  And frankly nobody knows for sure if any kid they sign will end up as Curry or Justin Anderson ($125000) when a kid is 16.  Frankly, based on his college career where he played at a decidedly non-power school in Davidson, I doubt Curry would have been a OTE candidate.  The much travelled Anderson on the other hand played at Virginia.  He might have been.
