Each first-round pick signs a four-year deal as dictated by the CBA. After year three of those rookie deals, the team can pick up an option for a fifth year at a predetermined cost. That fifth year is a bit on the expensive side, meaning good players typically see their options picked up. Bad players don’t. However, that is more of a rule of thumb than a hard and fast rule as Vic Beasley got his option picked up.
All of that was said to say there is rarely drama around rookie deals until after that third season.
