       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.

       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.

       pro ball somewhere?  i remember he had a shoulder surgery or
       something after the tournament...

       > 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.

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