Best players of their draft class are ALWAYS getting the rookie max extension. That's the price to pay for them being the best at their age and also because they are young enough to improve. It was obvious from day one that Banchero/Chet/JDub were gonna sign max extensions. Jabari signed $122 million after having only one "good" season because of talent/recent improvement. Cade Cunningham signed a max extension based 90% on talent alone before breaking out last season. Not a single GM could have avoided not to give a max contract to a DPOY kind of player like Chet (not even Kizz the new boss in San Antonio)
Truth. I would have handed Chet his max and would have been happy to do so. Presti should get no complaints about this move. Based on what I've read it does not include language to potentially bump to 30% if Chet were to qualify for it which makes it a perfect contract extension by Presti.
