All I know about you guys signing Reed is that she was one of those late signees that usually don't work out but this one did in a big way.
Just out of interest, since I had no idea, I looked at WNBA salaries. I have no doubt Chastity will be playing there in a couple of years if she chooses to do so. Team salary caps are about $750,000. Maximum salary is about $95,000. Rookie contracts are in the table below. Certainly not the NBA, but a young woman can make a nice living right out of college.
Rookie contracts
Rookies still sign three-year deals with a team option for a fourth. Projected wage scales for 2008:
Picks 1st year 2nd year 3rd year 4th year
1-4 $44,064 $44,945 $49,440 $56,182
5-8 $40,759 $41,574 $45,732 $51,968
9-14 $36,353 $37,080 $40,788 $46,350
Second round $35,000 $35,700 $39,270 $44,625
Third round $34,500 $35,190 $36,950 $42,229
