[Razor girl]

Just curious how much Qualls is making to play in Isreal or Durham in Sweden .

[WorfHog]

About $3.50

I would imagine Qualls is making seven figures

Not a chance. He's probably making 40-50k. Your perception of what an average to below average player overseas makes is way, way off. Not many players making seven figures outside the NBA.

EDIT: This article says the average player salary in Israel is $90,000 - $110,000 a year. I'm not sure how good Qualls has been over there, so he could be making more than 40-50k but no where near seven figures. The article says the Israeli league is behind most European leagues in pay.

Google is your friend. Just read an article and the majority of the teams salaries are under $500000, so I'm guessing players are making around $40 to 50 k on average. The Israeli league is very proud that it actually pays its players on time and pays the full salary unlike many European teams.

Looking at his stats, last year he averaged 12.8 pts 3.7 Rebs, 1.7 Ast, 1.6 Steals per game with an average of 26.9 Mins. That on par with his college performance (where he averaged 11.0 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 23.8 minutes per game)

He is the starting SG on his team so he's doing pretty good but I would be shocked if he was making more than low six figures.

It was my understanding and it could be wrong but it was that Israeli teams can only have 1 or 2 foreign born players per team and those guys were usually compensated the best.

According to pat bradley, that's correct

Though there is an exception for foreign-born Jews. They are not counted as foreign players.

Players also get their housing and transportation paid for
