Source says Celtics guard Terry Rozier's contract is for the max, 120% of the rookie scale.

5:23 PM - 27 Jul 2015
Rookie pay scales are slotted, so there's a cap for what Terry can make over his first four years in the league. But the Celtics far from shortchanged the Louisville guard here, paying him every penny possible.

They seem to love him. I expect a trade at some point they have a lot of guards.

Way to go, Terry! Happy that he has landed with an organization that seems to really value him.

Happy for Terry. Hope he takes care of his money. If he plays it right he could be set for life. Unfortunately many of these Kids don't.

The Celtics are really high on Terry and this proves it. He got a 20% pay increase before ever playing in his first true NBA game. That's showing a ton of confidence in him.

Okay Terry Russ got his nice piece of change also.

Only 5 players drafted in the first round since 2010 have gotten less than the 120%. It's very common practice.

- James Anderson (2010, #20): 105% in year one
- MarShon Brooks (2011, #25): 115% in year one
- Marquis Teague (2012, #29): 100% in year one
- Dennis Schroeder (2013, #17): 100% in year one
- Andre Roberson (2013, #26): 80% in year one
