Why are un-drafted and 2nd round players able to make so much more money than 1st round picks in their 2nd, 3rd and 4th years?

There are several examples of this including Arenas and Boozer.

Wesley Matthews making more money in his 2nd year then Derrick Rose is making in this 3rd year.

He's actually making more next season then Kevin Durant and Greg Oden who are both going into their 4th seasons.

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

It is because 2nd round contracts a non guaranteed so they usually get a 2 year deal. Some get longer deals.

Utah was probably being cheap and signed him to a 2 yr deal not know he would be this good. The thing is top prospects arent going to slip into the 2nd round in most cases.
