According to the NBA rookie salary scale, here’s what the five Kentucky players drafted in the first round Thursday night can expect in guaranteed salary their first two seasons:

John Wall, the first pick: $4,286,900 his first season and $4,608,400 the second second.

DeMarcus Cousins, the fifth pick: $2,812,200 his first season and $3,023,100 the second season.

Patrick Patterson, the 14th pick: $1,519,400 his first season and $1,633,300 the second season.

Eric Bledsoe, the 18th pick: $1,237,500 his first season and $1,330,300 the second season.

Daniel Orton, the 29th pick: $857,000 his firrt season and $921,300 the second season.

I have read alot of stories about John Wall, but this one is by far the best. It really tells the story of the trials and tribulations he went through as a kid. And of course we all know how the story of him coming to UK and what he done here, and as the NBA draft draws closer, reading this about him in the Washington Post gives me a new out look on John Wall, and I love him more now than ever.
