The Knicks signed John Jenkins to a two-year deal, and also
inked former first-rounder Henry Ellenson to a 10-day. That
leaves one roster spot. Not looking good but maybe he can sneak
up for a cup of coffee at some point.

I think we're all pretty skeptical about any Warney-to-the-NBA
hype, but at least his Westchester stint breathed a little life
into the possibility.

He'll dominate over there, but it's a crime he even had to go
all the way out there to play professional ball. Can none of the
current NBA teams see he'd at the very least be a solid bench
player?? I don't get it.

Newsday article - smart move, cashing in while he can:
Former Stony Brook star Jameel Warney to play in Korea
By Greg Logan
greg.logan@newsday.com @GregLogan1
Updated July 17, 2019 8:44 PM
Former Stony Brook star Jameel Warney invested three G League
seasons in the pursuit of his NBA dream, but the payoff was one
10-day contract and three NBA games with the Mavericks two
seasons ago. With no solid NBA prospects on his immediate
horizon, Warney invested in his future by signing a far more
lucrative one-year deal to play for the Seoul Knights of the
Korean Basketball League next season.
Warney confirmed the move in an interview with Newsday on
Wednesday, saying, “Obviously, I wasn’t going to make an NBA
roster, so the next step was seeing what is the best possible
spot for me? Where would I be most happy? What is a better
environment? What is the duration of the season? After I took
all that into consideration, I felt playing in Korea would be
the best next step for my career.”
Warney spent the first two seasons of his G League career with
the Texas Legends, a Mavs farm club, before moving to the
Westchester Knicks at midseason last year. Over that time,
Warney averaged 18.1 points per game, 8.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists,
1.2 steals and 1.1 blocks. There was talk of an opportunity with
the Knicks, but when it didn’t materialize, he decided it was
time to move on at the age of 25.
“The G League is a great league,” Warney said. “A lot of guys
improve, but I gave it three years of my life. As you get older
and try to get ready for your future with a wife and kids and
thinking about getting a house, you have to understand that, if
I give it a good five years, I can set myself up.”
Players on two-way contracts in the G League can make up to
$75,000 per year, but most on the G League roster get $35,000
per season. That will change dramatically for Warney in Korea.
“The last few years, it’s been pocket change and you can’t
really do anything unless you’re saving every penny,” Warney
said of the G League wage scale. “I will make more money in one
month in Korea than I would make the whole year in G League. So,
you can see my drift. It was a no-brainer.”
Warney had a brief experience playing pro basketball in China
last season, but quickly returned home. He explored playing in
Europe but liked the idea of a shorter eight-month season in
Korea, where they play 54 regular-season games versus a 10-month
commitment in Europe. His agent Sean Kennedy has had several
clients who enjoyed their Korean experience, and Stony Brook’s
all-time leading scorer is looking forward to the opportunity.

“If I just be myself and stay encouraging, I’ll have a good spot
in Korea,” Warney said. “I’m focused on trying to help that team
win a championship and then see what’s going on in the future.”

After a few years playing there he should be able to pocket a
few million while still keeping the NBA dream alive. Either way,
he's getting rewarded.

Good for him! He deserves a nice paycheck in a place where he
can be a star.
He's not fast enough and doesn't have enough perimeter game for
a prototype NBA 4 and he can't play anywhere else on the floor.
That's why teams aren't high on him despite the G League
numbers.
