oh wow. what a showing. great news for the U.
over the last 6 years, we've had athletes like Crowley, LVD,
Jankowski, Tye, and now Warney representing SB very well over
very many sports.

he does become the sort of player who can hit a jumper with
semi-regular consistency, we are now less talking about Warney
as a fringe NBA player and more so in context of being — NO
HYPERBOLE — an NBA starter.

I think a lot of this is spot-on. you can tell the writer has
seen jameel play instead of just looking at stats, summer
league, and video.

I loved very little about the NCAA Tournament game, but of the
things I did, that Warney was able to put up 23 and 15 on motor
alone, despite clearly being the best/only offensive threat
against a long Kentucky team, was at the top. We saw it a lot
here, but to see it against UK suggested he had a shot at the
next level. He'll never have offense run through him but somehow
he'll make his presence known. We'll see what he can do against
NBA regulars.

> Missing out on marquee names like Mike Conley and Hassan
Whiteside early in free agency, the Dallas front office quickly
rebounded by working out a trade to acquire Bogut from the
Golden State Warriors. The Mavs then inked Barnes, 24, to a
reported four-year deal worth $94 million, adding another
starter from the Warriors’ 2015 NBA championship team and 73-win
squad last season. Meanwhile, the Mavs got younger by signing
third-year big man Dwight Powell and adding the likes of a
26-year-old Curry, big man Quincy Acy, Argentine swingman
Nicolas Brussino, summer-league standout Jonathan Gibson, BYU
product Kyle Collinsworth, forward Dorian Finney-Smith,
undrafted LSU guard Keith Hornsby and post player Jameel Warney
to round out the roster. Now, Matthews says he will ensure that
the Mavs play with a chip on their shoulders and relish taking
on an underdog role.

> The rookie will have much to prove after his Summer League
performance. Warney averaged 6.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per
game coming off of the bench. Former Purdue standout A.J.
Hammons started over Warney, but the New Jersey native
outperformed the Indiana-born center despite playing fewer
minutes.

shot. They’ve had me playing power forward and center. Just
doing whatever is asked of me. I have a great skill in
rebounding, and just trying to mash all that together.”

hopefully getting offered that roster spot.”

I hope he goes overseas if he doesn't make the Mavs roster. Take
the money, Warney!!
