Sotto’s deal is understandably lower compared to Jalen Green, the United States’ top high school recruit who was the first to commit to the select NBA G League team.

Green, a 6-foot-5-inch tall flyer of Filipino descent, allegedly signed a deal worth $ 500,000 per season (P25 million).

Alder Almo of Off The Glass Basketball put the Sotto deal in perspective, comparing it to other contracts.

It is much larger compared to the average salary for NBA G League players, who earn $ 35,000 (P1.75 million) per season.

It is also a far cry from those made by PBA imports, which earn approximately $ 30,000 to $ 40,000 (P1.5 million to P2 million) per month, which in a span of three months could only take them from $ 90,000 to $ 120,000 (P4.5 million to P6 million) for a conference, excluding bonuses and game incentives won, of course.

Local PBA max agreement players, meanwhile, have a monthly base salary of P420,000 or just over P5 million a year.

One thing is clear: Sotto is about to receive a large payment.
