Contracts can be confusing. To help make them easier, we will break down the monetary situation of every player on the Indiana Pacers roster and what to expect going forward. In this edition, we take a look at Ike Anigbogu.

The Indiana Pacers were elated when Ike Anigbogu fell to them at the 47th pick in the 2017 NBA draft. He was at one point considered a potential lottery pick, but an injury caused him to fall down the draft board.

Getting a guy like Anigbogu is what the 47th pick is for. His skills were/are incredibly raw, but there is a chance he becomes an extremely useful player. He can jump out of the gym, he can protect the rim, and he has solid hands to catch lobs. In the modern NBA, that is a useful NBA player. If Anigbogu could polish all of his skills, he, in theory, would be a useful player.

Unfortunately, he is more a theory than a player at the moment. And he is paid as such. Let’s look at Ike Anigbogu’s financial situation, both at the present moment and going forward.
