Here is a list of last year's 2nds rounders and the contracts they signed: (I put italics on the guys who did not get guaranteed NBA money)
31- Isaiah Todd - 4yr/$7mil, 3yr/$5mil guaranteed
32- Jeremiah Robinson-Earl - 4yr/$7.9mil, 2yr/$4mil guaranteed
33- Jason Preston - 3yr/$4.5mil, 2yr/$2.5mil guaranteed
34- Rokas Jokubaitis - intl player chose to continue to play overseas
35- Herbert Jones - 3yr/$5.3mil, 2yr/$3.4mil guaranteed
36- Miles McBride - 3yr/$4.3mil, 2yr/$2.5mil guaranteed
37- JT Thor - 4yr/$6.6mil, 2yr/$2.8mil guaranteed
38- Ayo Dosunmu - 2yr/$2.5mil, 1yr/$0.9mil guaranteed (he's been pretty good and could do well when he gets to be a quick RFA after 2 seasons)
39- Neemias Queta - 2-way contract, no guarantees
40- Jared Butler - 2yr/$2.5 mil, fully guaranteed
41- Joe Weiskmp - 2-way contract, no guarantees
42 - Isaiah Livers - 3yr/$4.5mil, 2yr/$2.6mil guaranteed
43- Greg Brown - 3yr/$4.3mil, 2yr/$2.5mil guaranteed
44- Kessler Edwards - 2-way contract, no guarantees (he will be getting a full contract soon, he's been a really nice sub for the Nets lately. Won't be shocked if he makes more than some late 1st rounders next season)
45- Juhann Begarin - intl player chose to continue to play overseas
46- Dalano Banton - 2yr/$2.5mil, fully guaranteed
47- David Johnson - 2-way contract, no guarantees
48- Sharife Cooper - 2-way contract, no guarantees
49- Marcus Zegarowski - did not sign a NBA deal, playing on a standard G-League contract
50- Filip Petrusev - playing overseas in Turkey
51- Brandon Boston - 3yr/$4.3mil, 2yr/$2.5mil guaranteed
52- Luka Garza - signed a 2-way contract, it was converted to a 2yr/$2.4mil, 1yr/$925k guaranteed contract in September
53- Charles Bassey - 3yr/$4.3mil, 1yr/$1mil guaranteed
54- Sandro Mamukelashvili - 2-way contract, no guarantees
55- Aaron Wiggins - signed a 2-way contract, it was converted to a 4yr/$6.3mil, 1yr/$1mil guaranteed contract last week. He's been great for OKC and will likely have a nice NBA career
56- Scottie Lewis - 2-way contract, no guarantees
57- Balsa Koprivica - playing overseas in Serbia
58- Jericho Sims - 2-way contract, no guarantees
59- Raiquan Grey - did not sign a NBA deal, playing on a standard G-League contract
60- Georgios Kalaitzakis - 3yr/$4.3mil, $462k guaranteed, was waived in December and currently playing on a G-League standard contract
Charles Bassey and Brandon Boston got really good deals considering their draft spots. They have really good agents!
