No second rounder is guaranteed to be offered a contract.
First rounders are guaranteed a deal the minute their name is called, more or less.
Whether a second rounder signs anything is up to the team that drafts them. The contracts they eventually might have guaranteed money, but they’re not guaranteed to have a contract to sign in the first place.
Far more do sign now than before, with the relatively new two-way G-League option, but the fact remains the vast majority never really do anything. “Wasting” a second rounder on a guy with injury concerns is really not an issue. Anything a team gets out of a second-round pick is a bonus.
