Draft Pick Rookie Scale

[jpf_v2.0]

I've seen like 3 different numbers floating around for Augustin & Ajinca's contracts, any clue what the right amounts are?

This is from the players' association website:

1st year salaries:
9th pick: 1,840,8000
20th pick: 1,063,600

9th pick: 1,840,8000
20th pick: 1,063,600
This is rookie scale, but teams are allowed to sign players for 120% of the scale at most. And almost all the time, teams sign their players for 120% of the scale contract.

For example, last year's 9th pick Joakim Noah received $2,135,400 from Bulls, but his rookie scale was $1,779,500. The ratio between these numbers give exactly 120%.

So, Augustin's actual salary is 120% of the scale, which is $2,208.960 and for Ajinça, it is $1,276,320.

For all salary issues, I strongly recommend you to use http://www.storytellerscontracts.info , it gives so much details and is much better than all the others, including hoopshype and draftexpress.
