For comparison, Shane Larkin is pulling in $1.7M USD net (after taxes) in Greece. On a side dad Mr Barry Larkin IIRC was one of the highest paid players in 1992 or so when he signed for roughly 5.1 M a year.

I don't have any idea on what the average pay is but I always believed most were substantially less but hey I would play for 50K drive the bus and wash uniforms if it meant I had the opportunity to keep playing. That why I played in the rec leagues and got nothing but injuries for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never played a college game but signed a $1.2 million, 1 year contract. Not too shabby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surefire pros are long gone by that time. Most mocks show him late first to early 2nd round. This mock has Edwards going to the team I actually think he might fit: https://www.nbcsports.com/washington/wizards/2019-nba-mock-draft-60-wrapping-ncaa-tournament#slide-36 ESPN has him at #25: http://www.espn.com/nba/draft/bestavailable #28: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2829216-2019-nba-mock-draft-updated-1st-round-predictions-before-ncaa-championship Lowest I see him mocked #46: http://www.tankathon.com/mock_draft This one doesn't actually list Edwards: https://www.draftsite.com/nba/mock-draft/2019/ I think his ceiling is Monta Ellis.

BGleas Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 I don't think it's official yet, but saw a tweet that it looks like Jaylon Smith is staying for another year at Maryland. Big news for UMD. They'll most likely lose Fernando, but having both Cowan and Smith back is a solid group, and should help them avoid a big collapse.

Many of the leagues and players are more in the 80-250k range but, as you note, a few of the more prestigious leagues pay a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoosiertildeath Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Even with Carsen Edwards And Cline pee yew lost Three more games this season than they lost the previous season !

P.S.,those of you who have good memories will remember that I predicted that they would not win as many games this season before this season started !!

What is wrong with being a 2nd round pick? Contract's not guaranteed, money is significantly less. There are plenty of guys who have become stars despite being second-rounders (just think of Manu, drafted in the 50s), but it is much, much safer to be a first-rounder.

He’s got to have 5-6 inches on him. Kyle Lowry is 6’0. i could see him as a scorer, ideally with a taller point around him. It’s tough to be tiny and not be a facilitator.

I understand all that with non guaranteed deals. Maybe 10-15 years ago it didn't work out much for 2nd round picks. Now, many of these 2nd round picks that get cut cut often find new contracts fairly quick. Ray Spalding was a late 2nd. Mavs cut him and paid him 847k to open up a roster spot in Porzingus trade. Not sure why they didn't cut JJ. Anyway, Suns scooped Spalding up and gave him a 2 year deal starting next year around 1.5 mil per year. I understand that is not guaranteed but my guess if he is cut someone will sign him. 2nd round contracts do not seem so scary. It just seems the landscape has changed quite a bit with extra opportunities out there. And it works both ways. What if you stay and do not move up your draft stock?

Neither one is tall by NBA standards, but I'd give Edwards 2 inches over Yogi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
