$28.75 million a year is quite the get for Jaylen Brown, but I suppose the Celtics feared he'd get a max contract offer in free agency next summer. This the the first Celtic on a rookie contract since Rajon Rondo that Danny Ainge has signed to a contract extension.
For comparison:
2016 NBA Draft class:
Ben Simmons: $34M/year
Jamal Murray: $34M/year
Pascal Siakam: $32.5M/year
Jaylen Brown: $28.75M/year
