Victor Wembanyama’s salary is in line with what is expected to be: the best player in the history. In data revealed by Forbes, the new benchmark for the San Antonio Spurs is going to receive 55 million in four seasons, which means the highest contract in history for a ‘rookie’.
‘Wemby”s salary will increase, so that what he will receive in these four years of contract is broken down into 12, 12.7, 13 and 16.8 million.
With a link for the moment until 2027, in the last two seasons the Spurs have a franchise option about French, which they will activate depending on the performance they are expected to have.
The previous records of contracts of ‘rookies’ corresponded to Paolo Banchero, 1 pick in the 2022 draft, and Cade Cunningham, number 1 of 2021, with 50 and 45.6 million, respectively.
LeBron James, who ‘Wemby’ is being compared to as the top prospect since 2003, cashed 18.8 million in his first contract in a very different time.
