Lawrence
Wilson

It is accurate that signing draft picks is much easier now due to the rookie wage scale implemented many years ago as part of a CBA.
I mean the reality of signing draft picks since the implementation of the rookie deal is they're slotted into a pay scale.
A lot of the reason, those players haven't signed their deals yet is because of bonus structure or guarantee money.
However, there's 0 chance of a kid sitting out a season or not signing his contract until mid season because he's going to get the same amount of money in June/July/August as he is in Sept/Oct.
