Ashley Landis/Associated Press The Cavaliers have their big man of the future after they selected USC's Evan Mobley with the No. 3 overall pick of the 2021 NBA draft on Thursday. And Mobley is about to make some head-turning money on his rookie contract. According to RealGM's projection for the 2021-22 NBA rookie scale, the No. 3 pick will receive $6,729,300 in first-year salary, $7,065,600 in second-year salary and $7,402,300 in third-year salary. Additionally, the fourth-year option is a 26.4 percent increase over the third-year salary, and the qualifying option is a 31.2 percent increase over the fourth-year salary. However, it should be noted that first-round picks can sign for as little as 80 percent of the rookie scale or for as much as 120 percent of it.
