I wonder what last years #10 pick signed for

EP is wasting no time, he is moving forward to lead, and win. Rookies holding out for a few scrapes more of this or that is counterproductive, their pay is pretty much set.

His thank you was absolutely awesome. Too many fans missed his time here, missed one of the best players to ever set foot here. Unfortunately circumstances kept me home this season, but I was in total awe in his first two years.

I think I developed a man crush on the sixth man play vs WKU, but I watched that on television.

Don't know what he signed for, but safe to say he went from college student to multi-millionaire in a few short weeks. And that is great for he and his family.

with this set scale for rookies, what is the deal, or the incentive with the top 13 picks. I kept hearing references like "as long as he stays in top 13, he'll get........."
Besides scale difference, what's the difference in pick 10 and say pick 20?
