Players Eligible For Rookie Scale Extensions In 2017

For players who are entering the fourth and final year of their rookie scale contracts, July 1 is the first day that they can sign rookie scale extensions. Those players, who are – for the most part – 2014 first-round selections, will have until the start of the 2017/18 regular season to finalize long-term deals with their current teams.

Players eligible for rookie scale extensions can sign new deals that run at least four years, with those contracts taking effect to start the 2018/19 season. If they don’t sign extensions during this offseason, those players will be eligible for restricted free agency in the summer of 2018.

A year ago, eight players eligible for rookie scale extensions signed new deals between July 1 and October 31. Here are the players eligible to sign rookie scale extensions this year, beginning on July 1:

• Kyle Anderson (Spurs)

• Bruno Caboclo (Raptors)

• Clint Capela (Rockets)

• Joel Embiid (Sixers)

• Dante Exum (Jazz)

• Aaron Gordon (Magic)

• Gary Harris (Nuggets)

• Rodney Hood (Jazz)

• Zach LaVine (Bulls)

• Doug McDermott (Thunder)

• Shabazz Napier (Trail Blazers)

• Lucas Nogueira (Raptors)

• Jusuf Nurkic (Trail Blazers)

• Jabari Parker (Bucks)

• Julius Randle (Lakers)

• Marcus Smart (Celtics)

• Nik Stauskas (Sixers)

• Noah Vonleh (Trail Blazers)

• T.J. Warren (Suns)

• Andrew Wiggins (Timberwolves)
