Where the money goes
NBA first-round picks are paid under the rookie scale. At 120% of scale, year one pays $6,417,360, spread over 24 paychecks. That is about $131,897 per check after taxes and the agent, before the NBA holds back 10% of each check in escrow.
Only the first two years are guaranteed. The team decides on years three and four, so plan your life on the guaranteed $13,155,360, not the full $29,213,493.
