The Magic have officially signed 2024 No. 18 overall pick Tristan Da Silva to his rookie scale contract, according to a team release (Twitter link).
A four-year player at Colorado, Da Silva averaged 11.7 points and 3.8 rebounds while shooting 49.3% from the field and 38.6% from deep across 124 career collegiate games. In his senior season, he averaged 16.0 points and shot 39.5% from deep as a 6’8″ forward.
Da Silva has a chance to immediately contribute as a rookie even on a competitive team like the Magic, adding much-needed spacing to Orlando’s bench.
As the No. 18 overall pick in the draft, Da Silva will have a first-year salary of about $3.63MM and will earn $17.57MM over four years if he’s signed to the maximum 120% of the rookie scale. That hasn’t been confirmed, but it’s rare for a player to take less than 120%.
