So in theory a player could be drafted in the first round and still not make an NBA team. I didn’t realize that could happen. I realize it’s extremely rare, but I didn’t know it was even possible. Yeah. Though there's no real way to be a competent front office and let that happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The scale is guaranteed, a team isn't obligated to pay a player though. i could have swore the 1st 2 years of a rookie deal are guaranteed. only years 3 and 4 are optional.

They effectively are. Because it's completely illogical for a team to draft a guy and then change their mind a week later and renounce his rights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I understand what ?4TW was saying correctly, the first two years are guaranteed as long as the team offers their first round pick a contract. But they can choose not to offer the contract, which effectively makes that player a free agent. Since that scenario means throwing away a first round draft pick, I gather it almost never happens.
