who are the extended first round players?

Draft 2022 Last night made few people happy among the players in the 2022 draft. Dyson Daniels etc Christian Brown joined the contingent of young people extended before the deadline. Of all the elements selected in the first round, not only nine of them signed a new contract.

This is two less than for representatives of the class of 2021. That means all other players will still have to prove themselves this season before becoming protected free agents next summer. Not surprisingly, the first four selections of the 2022 selection will not have this status.

The Magic offered a max contract to their young star Paolo Banchero at the start of the summer, the Thunder did the same with its interior Chet Holmgren. Before you decide to immediately do the same with Jalen Williams. The third Thunder player on this list, Ousmane Dieng still has to wait before a possible extension.

In Houston, the Rockets secured the future Jabari Smith Jrbut he failed to agree with Tara Eason who was rumored to be targeting an $80 million, four-year contract. THE Financial “efforts” of Kevin Durant in parallel, therefore, they were not enough.

The Pistons preferred to wait

A situation comparable to Denver where Christian Brownmade the Nuggets’ top five last year, he was given a new contract at the last minute, unlike his teammate Peyton Watson. The Kings and Blazers have already released millions of dollars Keegan Murray etc Shaedon Sharpe a few days before.

For their part, the Pistons preferred to play it safe with two of their young, albeit well-established, talents. Poor Ivey etc Jalen Duren. They should use this new season to increase their value. Same for Benedict Maturinhe promised a great statistical season in the absence of Tyrese Halliburton at Indiana. A year earlier, the Pacers also extended Andrew Nembhardt – due on 31st 2022 – for $59 million over three years.

Elected three places further that year, Jailyn Williams (34) also signed a three-year, $24 million contract extension with the Thunder this summer. Finally, a word about AJ Green on the Bucks, the holder of a few days of an extension worth $45 million over four years, although he was not selected in 2022.
