Hollinger: Ayton worth max & Bridges, Shamet worth a lot more than you think

Veteran NBA insider, executive and reporter, at various stages of his career, John Hollinger now writes for the Athletic ($) on many things that a front office executive would use in player and team evaluations.

This week, Hollinger wrote on what the remaining unextended players from the 2018 NBA Draft class — including three on the Phoenix Suns — are worth in rookie contract extensions. So far, only five players from a very very good rookie class have been extended, four of those being at the max or max+ level ($172 million or more) over five seasons.
