In January 2005, he was selected to the Icelandic All-Star game where he scored 13 points.[4] In March, he became the tenth player in the Úrvalsdeild history to score 800 points in a single season.[5] After the season he was named the Úrvalsdeild Foreign Player of the Year.[6]

In June 2005, he signed with Rotterdam Basketbal of the Dutch Eredivisie.[7] In February 2006, he was selected to the Dutch All-Star game.[8]

During the 2006–2007 season, Helm played for Donar (then named Hanzevast Capitals for sponsorship reasons).

In 2007, Helm returned to the Úrvalsdeild karla and signed with reigning Icelandic champions KR.[9][10] On October 7, he scored 25 points and grabbed 19 rebounds in KR's victory against ÍR in the Icelandic Super Cup.[11] In January 2008, he was again selected to the Icelandic All-Star game, this time scoring 9 points.[12] In the Úrvalsdeild, he was one of the best players in the league,[13] averaging 20.8 points and 9.2 rebounds per game and helping KR finish with the second best record during the regular season. In the playoffs, KR unexpectedly lost in the first round to seventh seeded ÍR.[14]
