Hot damn! Good for him!!!

1.5 million is the largest ever 2nd round salary cap hit for a college player.  I assume that means something similar to that is guaranteed 1.5 million the first year?  Even if not exactly what it means, it has to be a good thing that is the the largest ever for a college 2nd rounder.

Big boy money to be on the big boy roster. No 2Way deal, no starting in the GLeague. Good for Roby.

Looks like two years guaranteed

Good for Isaiah! Obviously, leaving after his junior year was the right call.  No looking back.  Go get 'em.

Way to go Isaiah!!!

And the cap hit to the Mavs is impressive in that Dallas believes enough in Roby to pay him pretty well for his 1st 2 seasons.

 

Roby must be a B1G piece in their plans as far as rookie help on the roster.

Well done to Isaiah, his family, coaches Miles and Hoiberg, and everyone who advised him to leave for the pros.  And a special shoutout to Mr. Bardo for helping him to realize how good he really was.

this is stupid good news...:) A Husker lands a  genuine roster spot. Good work, Zay!

Roby is officially now my 2nd All-time favorite Maverick jumping Rolando Blackman. Strickland is still #1 with a bullet ...

[PimpMario]

Interesting.  Wish he could have lived up to his NBA earning potential as a Husker.

 

He was a good representative for the program.

Wow! Congrats, Roby!

 

...I wonder how AWIII's boxing career is going.

The second round is where teams that have great scouting can build depth and find Potential all stars.  It also allows salary cap flexibility and you see smart teams accumulate second round picks.

 

In fact, I think a second round pick is more valuable than a late First round pick to the teams...because of the rookie contracts given to first rounders.

[Handy Johnson]

No doubt Dallas's lack of a 1st round pick sweetened the pot money wise for Isaiah. Good on him, he should be part of their regular rotation & won't be buried on the bench like he might have been with the Bucks/Clippers etc...
