The Jazz have signed first round picks Cody Williams and Isaiah Collier, according to a team press release.
The 10th pick in last week’s draft, Williams will make $5,469,120 in his first season, assuming the usual 120% of the rookie scale figure given out by most teams to first-rounders. He’s due to make $24,897,090 during his first four years in the NBA.
Collier, the 29th pick, is eligibile to receive $2,512,680 in his first year and a total of $12,903,788 through his first four seasons.
Rookie scale contracts are guaranteed for the first two years, with team options on the third and fourth years.
The 6’8” Williams posted averages of 11.9 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 28.4 minutes per contest as a Colorado freshman. The 6’5” Collier, a 2023-24 Pac-12 All-Freshman team honoree at USC, averaged 16.3 points, 4.3 assists, and 1.5 steals in 27 games.
They finally did the rookie introductions today on YouTube. Guess with the new Summer schedule it made it hard to host it before now. I mean they’ve already had a practice! lol
Although, I guess as long as they introduce them before the SLC SL then it’s fine. =)
