At present, three players in the 17 draft have signed the top salary contract. It is worth mentioning that it is not the champion and runner-up who sign the top salary in this draft.
The three young players are Donovan Mitchell of Jazz, Jayson Tatum of Celtic and Darron Fox of Kings.
First, Mitchell signed a five-year contract with the Jazz with a maximum of $654.38+95 million. In his rookie season, Mitchell showed amazing talent. As the first 13 program, he ranked second in the competition for the best rookie of the year, but unfortunately lost to "repeat student" Ben Simmons. In addition, Mitchell scored 5 100 in the past three seasons, which is the highest in this draft. There is no doubt that Mitchell definitely deserves this top salary contract, and Jazz will continue to build a team around this talented player.
Secondly, Tatum also signed a contract with the Green Army of $654.38+95 million. In the past season, Tatum averaged 23.4 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists 1.4 steals and 0.9 blocks for the Celtics. With outstanding performance, Tatum was also selected for the first time on the All-Star team last season. What's more commendable is that Tatum was selected into the NBA team of the year three times last season, and his performance was highly recognized. The above two people are definitely the best in the 17 draft.
In addition, King also offered Fox a maximum salary contract of $654.38+63 million. This may be a bit of a premium, but it is also predictable, because the King must choose one of the three young players Bogdanovic, Buddhilde or Fox as the core training. With the renewal of the contract with Fox, I believe the King's top management has also made their own choices.
Unfortunately, none of the above three people are the first and second in the 17 draft. Tatum is Hua Xiu, Fox is the fifth overall, and Mitchell is 13 overall.
I wonder if you still remember the champion of 17? He is Markelle Fultz who is currently playing for the Magic. Previously, Fultz was struggling with 76 people because of Puyi disease, a special strange disease. Now he has joined the magic and his performance has picked up. However, Fultz's chance to sign a high salary is considered impossible.
As for the second-place show, it is the main point guard Lonzo Ball of Pelican at present. Brother Qiu is actually a very good player, with a good vision and a steadily rising three-point shooting ability. His combination with brandon ingram and Tsai Williamson is very exciting, and he still has a good chance to get a big contract in the future.
Finally, the 17 draft also trained many outstanding stars. In your impression, apart from the 96 gold generation and the 03 platinum generation, which year's draft impressed you the most?
