After Teodosic's deal, we should have around $2M and some change remaining of the MLE. The new rookie minimum is $815,615. I wonder how much more he was given and if the plan is to do the same with Thornwell.


Unlikely it is too much more, up to $1M starting. Teams need to use cap space or an exception to sign second rounders for more than two years. Im guessing that was basically the case here, but potentially a pay bump in year one.
Plus, why would I want to go to the NBA? Duke players suck in the pros.

According to ESPN's Trade Machine, his starting salary is at the rookie minimum ~$815K

Evans Concerned with Learning the Ropes 

Post#123 » by Ranma » Mon Jul 17, 2017 5:11 am

Fred Katz, Norman Transcript (7/16/17)
“Sindarius Thornwell, he likes to get out and run. He likes to attack off the dribble, so I kick it to him early,” Evans said. “Bryce, he likes a bounce pass or over-the-head. He just likes to get space.”

Evans can list all his teammates’ preferences. It took him only a week to get there.

“That’s your homework now,” Marshall said. “It’s no longer chemistry and all that stuff. Your homework is now, I have to know my teammates. As a point guard, I have to know where to get them the ball. And you learn that from watching them, from watching film. You learn that from playing with them, playing against them. So, that’s all a part of the process, but he’s picking it up quick.”

Evans was a collegiate scorer, the ball-dominant member of an offense that didn’t have much NBA talent. And one of the biggest wonders about his future style hinges on if that will change at the next level.

Did Evans dribble so much at OSU because that’s who he is, or did he play that way because he was the product of a team-created circumstance, because that’s how the Cowboys needed him to play?

The Clippers believe the latter is true of a cerebral point guard dedicated to adapting. He did, after all, finish inside the top five in the nation in assist rate. As long as he continues to learn his teammates, he’s heading in the right direction.

“It’s been an adjustment for me, but I’m starting to get used to it,” Evans said. “It’s slowed down for me from the first game to today.”

Jawun Evans Has to Learn His Teammates Before Learning About the Pros

Pretty good for a 2nd round pick with low expectations.

Also since he was often QBing the 2nd unit. Jawun brings the ball up like a rocket and if Beverley or Austin miss any time, he'll be needed just for that.

After we drafted them and I started hearing the draft grades and looking them up, I've been trying to keep my expectations manageable. 8-)

I have a feeling at least 1 is going to develop into a rotation player.

DX Apparently Part of ESPN Insider Now 

Post#130 » by Ranma » Sat Jul 22, 2017 5:27 am

It looks like DraftExpress will now be a part of ESPN but apparently as paid content for the Insider component of the network. With Adrian Wojnarowski, Bobby Marks and now DX, ESPN has quite the acquisition haul this summer, which would rival anything a pro sports team has done this year. Wow!

Cash Paid for Jawun Evans Pick 

Post#133 » by Ranma » Wed Jul 26, 2017 5:11 am

Couple this with the $1.3 million Pincus reported earlier that was included in the Gallinari trade, the Clippers are now left with maybe about $500,000 to use for the rest of the 2017-18 calendar year.
