Published July 06, 2008 12:57 am - Sonics sign top draft picks
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Guard Russell Westbrook, the No. 4 overall pick in the NBA draft, has signed a multiyear contract with the SuperSonics, Oklahoma City’s new NBA team. General manager Sam Presti announced that Westbrook and D.J. White, who was drafted by Detroit with the 29th overall pick and then traded to the Sonics, had signed contracts Friday but did not release details. The NBA’s rookie scale calls for Westbrook to make about $6 million over his first two seasons, while White would make about $1.6 million combined over the first two years. The SuperSonics announced this week that they will be moving to Oklahoma City starting next season. Westbrook averaged 12.7 points and 4.3 assists last season as a sophomore at UCLA, where he was also named the Pac-10 defensive player of the year. White averaged 17.4 points and 10.3 rebounds as a senior at Indiana last season, earning Big Ten player of the year honors.
