On Wednesday, the Charlotte Hornets officially signed Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to an extension worth $52 million over four years.
Despite being a former second overall pick and only 21 years of age, some might look at MKG's new price tag and consider it a bit steep. He hasn't exactly had the flashiest first three seasons in the league, averaging a mere 9.0 points through his first 195 NBA games. Held up against the lofty expectations that come with being such a high lottery pick and the consolation prize that came right after Anthony Davis in the 2012 NBA Draft, a player with that kind of scoring output doesn't really seem worth $13 million per season.
