Henry Ellenson signs a two-year deal with a Spanish team*

Do we like him or hate him on scoop?

[Newsdreams]

Do we like him or hate him on scoop?

Per Two-Face, flip a coin.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Do we like him or hate him on scoop?

If it weren't for those easy rebounds...

Last MU player since Bo to average a double double in a season (yes, I am rounding up 9.7 due to the Wojo adjustment factor). Mo and Jimmy Chones also accomplished that feat.

[dgies9156]

We wish him the best and hope he does very well.

Yep.

[BCHoopster]

Yep.

Ballpark what does Henry get paid in that league?

[The Lens]

More than your average Rice Lake HS grad (no offense to Lance Allen).

[PJDunn]

Henry is slightly better than Joey. That being said, being paid to live in Spain is pretty damn nice.

Uhhhhh what?

Henry was a first round pick that caught a paycheck in the NBA for four years.

Joey Hauser won't sniff the NBA.

They're vastly different in ability.

I’m never sure.  He was a Wojo recruit, so some immediately cheer against him, however, he’s a white guy from the hills, so 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ballpark what does Henry get paid in that league?

Depends on the team and the league. Is he in the first league, or like Luke Fischer, a secondary league. One is a nice living, the other, more middle class.

[oldwarrior81]

I read the average salary in the Spanish pro league is around $130,000.  I think their season includes about 40 regular season games.
But there also can be perks such as housing and a car provided as well.

The salaries for the top end guys is quite a bit better.  Ricky Rubio was said to be earning around $17 million per season.
As a general rule of thumb, the top paid Euro players earn about the same as the average NBA player ($7.7 million)

Vasilije Micić is a top player a few NBA teams are looking to acquire from OKC.  Including Chicago and Milwaukee.
I believe his annual salary is around $6.6 million.

[JakeBarnes]

Monbus Obradoiro is part of the ACB league, which is the top tier league. Didn't see much on the salary front, but he seems to be the big signing for them

[swoopem]

Henry would be great on the TBT team

Hopefully he plays in it one year. He’s probably only 26 or 27 still

PS: he could bring Wally too

He'd be a huge upgrade from Fischer.

Fischer played for Gran Canaria, who was in Liga ACB, which is the top Spanish league.  Not only that, they were a Euroleague club when he was there.  He was never in the second division.

I have no idea where you are getting your numbers from.  I can assure you Ricky Rubio was never making $17MM at Barcelona before he came to the NBA.  I believe his buyout was around $5MM which was one of the largest in European history.

And those other salary numbers are way off.  I think Mirotic is the highest paid player in Europe right now and he's making like $4.5MM.  Other top guys are maxing at $2-3MM.  And thats maybe 15-20 guys TOTAL in all of Europe.  Nobody is making close to even mid level exception NBA money in Europe.

Its nice money, and it can also be net salary, which is attractive.  But nowhere near what you are claiming.

Henry is in the Spanish A League average salaries in the low 100s . With all the perks house car food on top, life is good. Henry had a mediocre year his first year in Europe. Hopefully he can improve this year.  With his size, he should be good for many years in Europe if that is what he wants.

I'd be interested in the value of the perks that are often added into Euro salaries. Housing expenses, other living expenses, all the other frills that get added in. Like you said, net salary definitely increases the value. Be curious by how much, though obviously it varies greatly with every contract, so I'm sure difficult to track.

additionally, they are often paid in cash and exempted from taxes. I had one colleague talk about coming back from playing professional Volleyball in Spain with $60,000 in cash in his backpack and hoping not to get stopped by Customs.

However, there is a decent gap between the haves and have nots in many of the Euro leagues, and for some players, payday is inconsistent, though usually the imports are paid firs.

lol not declaring over 10k is a federal crime...   Great way to lose ALL of that money.

[Stretchdeltsig]

Another example of a drop out who would have made more money by staying in school.

Very, very doubtful.

No, he wouldn’t have.
