The All-Southeastern Conference forward postponed his chances of becoming an NBA lottery pick last month when he chose to return to school for his senior season. If Haugh would have been drafted 14th overall (the last lottery pick), he would have signed a four-year deal for more than $26 million that would have paid him $5.4 million as a rookie.
