Pistons team release:

"The Detroit Pistons announced today that the club has exercised team options on the contracts of center Andre Drummond and guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.  Both contracts are now extended through the 2015-16 NBA season."

Pick up these were merely formalities. The rookie scale keeps salaries down for first-round picks, making anyone who pans out at all worth his option-year salary.

Drummond for $3,272,091? Caldwell Pope for $2,891,760?

Of course.
