Where the money goes
NBA first-round picks are paid under the rookie scale. At 120% of scale, year one pays $7,348,680, spread over 24 paychecks. That is about $158,489 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 $15,064,800, not the full $33,430,921.
