Long before he steps on an NBA court, the projected No. 1 overall pick in June's NBA draft is expected to land a sneaker endorsement deal that will make him far richer than his first NBA contract will. 在锡安踏入NBA球场之前，这位状元大热就很有可能签下一份价值远超他的NBA新秀合同的球鞋代言合同。 In fact, many in the sneaker industry expect that Williamson's eventual deal will make him one of the three highest-paid rookie sneaker endorsers ever, joining the likes of LeBron James and Kevin Durant. 事实上，很多球鞋行业内部人士认为，威廉姆森最终可能签下与詹姆斯和杜兰特一样的天价新秀代言合同。 Like James, whose deal was done before the draft lottery that would eventually land him in Cleveland, Williamson is expected by industry insiders to have a deal inked before this year's May 14 draft lottery, as the major sneaker companies see Williamson as a potential marketing superstar regardless of which market he lands in. 就像詹姆斯在被克利夫兰骑士选中之气就签完球鞋代言合同一样，球鞋行业的内部人士认为在今年5月14日的选秀日之前威廉姆斯会获得一份签名球鞋的合同，因为主要的球鞋厂商都一致认为他有着成为超巨的潜力，会给公司带来巨大的经济收入。 For Williamson, the inclusion of a signature sneaker could be necessary to seal the deal. Only nine players in league history have had a signature shoe for their rookie season. |
