Sixers' De'Anthony Melton Predicted to Land Big Payday in Free Agency

Unfortunately, he faced some notable obstacles during a contract year, which clouds judgment heading into his summer of unrestricted free agency. Hughes predicts that Melton could land himself a contract worth $60 million. Coming off a season where had just 38 appearances, that's quite the payday for a 25-year-old player, who wrapped up his second season with the 76ers. Considering he's five years younger than KCP, you could make a case that a mere $60 million would be a bargain to lock down what should be Melton's prime seasons.
