For an NBA player, how to choose an agent is a college question and one of the most crucial decisions after entering the league, as it will directly affect the player's income.

10. Jeff Austin ($102,995,266)
He has a total of 7 NBA players, the most famous of which is the Warriors core Curry, it is quite interesting that the Bucks core alphabet brother is also his player, so it is not difficult to understand why the US media frequently spread the rumor that the alphabet will go to the Warriors to join curry.
With Alphabet Brother soon to sign a big contract, Austin's ranking is also expected to improve further.
9. Mike Lindemann ($103,407,951)
