Jordan Hawkins has signed his rookie scale contract with the Pelicans, according to NBA.com’s transactions log.
Hawkins was the No. 14 pick in last month’s draft after helping Connecticut win the national championship as a sophomore.
The 21-year-old shooting guard earned first-team All-Big East honors by averaging 16.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists last season.
Hawkins is eligible to receive $4,310,160 in his first season and can earn $20,599,055 over the four-year contract, as our breakdown of rookie scale salaries shows.
Hawkins is the 17th first-rounder to reach a contract agreement. You can track the status of all 58 draft picks in our round-up of signings.
