No. 5 NBA Draft Pick Darius Garland, Cavaliers Agree to Rookie Contract

Darius Garland is officially a member of the Cleveland Cavaliers after the two sides agreed to terms on a rookie contract.

The team announced Wednesday it came to a deal with the No. 5 overall pick in the 2019 NBA Draft, plus fellow first-round picks Dylan Windler and Kevin Porter Jr.

Under the 2019-20 NBA rookie wage scale, Garland will earn $16,802,100 over the first three years of his contract. His fourth-year team option will be worth $7.43 million.

Garland was regarded as one of the best prospects in this year's class, despite playing just five college games at Vanderbilt.
