Beijing time today (June 27) NBA draft conference smoothly carried out, this year's draft is divided into two days, today is the first round of pick players, French player Risachet was successfully elected champion, this is the second consecutive year that the French have been elected NBA champion show; Tomorrow will be the second round of the draft, and the much-watched CBA Guangzhou team Cui Yongxi and NBA superstar James son Bronny will likely be selected at the end of tomorrow's second round, so tomorrow's second round draft is still worth looking forward to.
In recent years, more and more young players in the CBA want to go out and play in the NBA, or leave the CBA league to join other competitions. Playing in other basketball leagues outside the NBA may not make more money, but there will be fewer people who are sophisticated, basketball is more pure, and you can improve your level faster. For example, the annual salary of the NBA draft champion is more than 200 times the annual salary of the CBA draft champion, and the salary of the NBA champion rookie in the first year of the contract is not earned by the CBA champion in his entire career, which is the gap.
The annual salary of the top pick in the CBA draft is 500,000, 400,000 for the list, 350,000 for the prospect, 300,000 for the fourth place, and so on; Therefore, Zhu Songwei, who participated in the CBA draft in 2020 and was selected by the Sichuan team with the 4th pick in the first round, has an annual salary of 300,000 yuan. At that time, the Sichuan team and Zhu Songwei signed a two-year rookie contract, and after the rookie contract ended, the Sichuan team needed to double the salary if the contract was renewed, that is, the Sichuan team could provide Zhu Songwei with a contract with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan. But even if the rookie contract amount is doubled, it is several times worse than the annual salary offered by other leagues outside.
In the summer of 2022, Zhu Songwei left the Sichuan team to join the Bay Area Wing Dragons, and after the disbandment of the Wing Dragons in 2023, Zhu Songwei did not return to the CBA, but joined the Hong Kong Golden Bulls in the NBL. It is reported that the Wing Dragons team provided Zhu Songwei with a contract of 3 million per year, and the Hong Kong Golden Bulls gave Zhu Songwei a contract of 3.5 million per year, and the two sides signed a contract of 7 million for 2 years. The annual salary of the contract signed by these teams and Zhu Songwei is 5-6 times that of the CBA team, why did Zhu Songwei come back? Of course, there are also CBA players who will get the top salary after the rookie contract is executed, such as Lin Tingqian and Wang Lanqin, but Zhu Songwei does not meet the regulations, and the Sichuan team will not give such a large contract.
And the price of the NBA's top rookie contract is staggering. The rookie contract of the top pick in last year's NBA draft was 4 years and 55.17 million US dollars, and the rookie season was 12.16 million US dollars (equivalent to about 88.35 million yuan); The champion Paul Banchero last year had an annual salary of $11.05 million in his rookie season (equivalent to more than 80 million yuan), and this year's champion was Risa Shet, according to the salary cap increase, Risachet's rookie contract can probably get 4 years and 60 million US dollars, and the rookie season may have an annual salary of 14 million US dollars (equivalent to about 101.7 million yuan). The one-year contract salary of these players in their rookie season is a height that the CBA's top-paid players have struggled to reach in their entire careers.
The lowest pick in the NBA draft last year, the Bucks used the No. 58 pick to acquire Chris Livingston, and then signed a four-year contract of $7.7 million, with an average annual salary of $1.925 million (equivalent to about 14 million yuan) for four years as a rookie. In other words, as long as he can be drafted by the NBA, even the lowest pick will have an annual salary of nearly $2 million.
If Cui Yongxi is selected by an NBA team in the second round this year, the contract amount will not be less than 8 million for 4 years, which is equivalent to an annual salary of more than 15 million yuan per year, which is 2.5 times the CBA's maximum salary.
