The question is highest paid sophomore. And ALL THINGS CONSIDERED salary wise, Wesley is likely the highest paid sophomore in NBA history. Mmk? That's all there is to it, no more, no less.
I thought maybe Gilbert Arenas got more. He was in a very similar situation to Matthews (although clearly a lot better).
But he cashed in during his third season, and it was "only" $8.5 mil.
Man, anybody who doesn't include a team option for years 2 and 3 on a rookie contract is crazy. Utah could be paying him rookie scale right now with just a few extra lines on a contract that Matthews would probably have eagerly signed.
