For the first-round picks from the 2015 NBA Draft class still on their rookie deals, Monday is an important day — the deadline for them to sign extensions. For D’Angelo Russell and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson of the Brooklyn Nets, though, that deadline will pass without incident.
Three players from that draft class — No. 1 overall pick Karl-Anthony Towns, 10th overall selection Justise Winslow and Devin Booker, the 13th overall choice, have already inked new deals.
The Phoenix Suns didn’t take long to get Booker locked up, signing Booker to a max five-year, $158 million extension on July 7.
