Where the money goes
NBA first-round picks are paid under the rookie scale. At 120% of scale, year one pays $4,965,480, spread over 24 paychecks. That is about $107,742 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 $10,179,240, not the full $24,014,283.
