Standard extensions for first-round picks carry maximum 8% annual salary raises from Year 1 base compensation. Detroit Pistons cap percentage projections assume an estimated $121,244,444 to $145,000,000 baseline cap ceiling. Sibling and family draft records are compiled from official NBA draft archives (2023 NBA Draft: Amen Thompson #4 to Houston Rockets, Ausar Thompson #5 to Detroit Pistons).
