Devin Vassell is worth his extension and should only get better

Devin Vassell recently signed a lucrative extension that will keep him in San Antonio for a long time. The Spurs have both Vassell and Keldon Johnson on long-term deals and two other potential cornerstones like Jeremy Sochan and Victor Wembanyama early on their rookie contracts. There’s a sense of continuity now.

What Vassell will find out soon is that with a big paycheck comes more scrutiny. Next season he will make $30 million, after all. With NBA contracts, though, it’s always better to zoom out and get as much context as possible before making any conclusions about whether they are good or bad, and Vassell’s seems like the former.

It’s a good value extension for a player of Vassell’s…
