Poll: Which Third-Year Player Gets Paid The Most?

Earlier this week, Luke Adams detailed which fourth-year players are eligible to receive extensions.  As Luke notes, Blake Griffin and Serge Ibaka, both of whom fall into this category, have already signed long-term deals this summer.  Griffin signed a maximum-salary deal and Ibaka signed for 4-years, $49MM.  The rest of the guys on the list have until October 31 to sign new deals with their respective teams or they will become free agents next summer.

Teams also have until October 31 to pick up their fourth-year option on players entering the third year of their rookie contracts.  Luke posted a list of those guys as well, none of whom look like surefire NBA stars just yet.  That said, several of them will likely get paid big bucks next summer.  But which ones?  Out of all of these guys, who deserves the biggest extension next summer?  Feel free to justify your vote in the comments section.
