The NBA rookie-scale extension deadline has passed, leaving several first-round draft picks from 2021 eligible for restricted free agency. Players like Bones Hyland and Davion Mitchell face uncertain futures as they seek contracts that reflect their potential.
Hyland, with the Los Angeles Clippers, is at high risk of leaving, while Mitchell's performance with the Toronto Raptors could lead to a medium risk of flight. Other notable names include Isaiah Jackson, Quentin Grimes, and Josh Giddey, all of whom have varying degrees of flight risk based on their upcoming seasons.
