And in what is essentially his first professional season in Europe, this is what young Dominican Republic guard Jean Montero has done.īorn in July 2003, Montero has been a stand-out player in a league where youngsters do not usually get a look-in. The key to survival on a relative shoestring, then, is to hit home runs with unproven pieces in the hope that they break out. Johnson, Jeremy Pargo and Anzejs Pasecniks, but for the most part, they have to scuffle around, finding young veteran European bench pieces who are useful but not needle-movers (Volodymyr Gerun, Aleksandar Cvetkovic, Dairis Bertans, etc), and filling out their required Spanish passport quota with older veteran one-way players (Eulis Baez, Txemi Urtasun, etc). They have some NBA veterans in the forms of B.J. Given that that amount has to cover a 15-man roster, as well as the midseason changes that come from being near the bottom, Betis cannot pay premium salaries even though they are in the premium league. And yet their budget comes in at less than a tenth of that. However, since 2018, when they took over the struggling Sevilla, so have been Betis. It is true that the basketball arms of Real and Barca are both attached to, and subsidised by, the sky-high revenues generated by their football clubs.
