Which 4 NBA rookies have Jordan brand recently signed? Looking at details of contract & more

Every year, the Jordan brand looks to add new athletes to their long list of partnerships. With less than two weeks to go before the NBA season begins, the iconic brand has inked deal with four different rookies.

The four rookies to sign with the Jordan brand are Marcus Sasser, Cam Whitmore, Jett Howard and Jaime Jaquez Jr. Howard was a lottery pick for the Orlando Magic in the NBA draft, with the other three each getting selected towards the end of the first round.

Sasser was selected with the 25th pick, and was eventually traded to the Detroit Pistons. He joins fellow first-round pick Asuar Thompson as the latest additions to one of the league's brightest young cores.

Whitmore was projected to be a lottery pick, but eneded up falling to the Houston Rockets at No. 20. He was seen as the steal of the night then, and has impressed thus far in the preseason.

Jaquez Jr. was one of the older prospects taken in this draft and found himself joining the Miami Heat. The young forward heard his name in trade rumors all offseason, but now gets to focus on his first season in the NBA.
