Contract Value Index (CVI)
Jalen Williams's contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder grades out as a slightly below-market contract, earning a D+ CVI grade. At $48.1M per year over 1 year, this is a max contract at the maximum allowed salary. Jalen's deal falls in the max tier for NBA Shooting Guards. At 24 years old, Jalen is in or near prime years, which supports the investment. The max contract structure means Jalen's salary is artificially capped — the CVI accounts for the compression between market value and allowed salary. The team will need Jalen to significantly improve to justify this financial commitment.
