If Warney could somehow wrangle a 2-way contract out of this,
those contracts can earn up to $204K per year. Time will tell as
to where this trade leads him.

An inauspicious start to Warney's Knick career. He came off the
bench and scored four points on 1-of-9 shooting in a 123-98 loss
to Rio Grande Valley. His plus/minus has gone from +3.9 to +2.1
to -5.0 in three seasons.
Here's a link to the game if you care to watch. He's wearing
#34.

Something clearly wrong with Warney this season. Is he still
hurt from his injury over the summer in China, or he took a step
backward with his Basketball career. Either way he better jump
on that overseas money he could make play ball in either Europe
or Asia before it's too late..

Interesting line from Warney in the W-Knicks' last game: 22
points on 10-of-17 shooting. Especially of note, NO ATTEMPTED
THREES. I don't know about you, but I say that they should sack
any attempt to turn him into a shooter.
Also of note, Salt Lake's Jairus Lyles (UMBC) had 16, 5 and 5 in
the game, and was a +21.

Warney led the Knicks tonight with 25 points, going 11-19. He
was going up against the Texas Legends already! Hoping to
continue seeing statlines like this.

Article on Warney in today's Newsday:
G whiz: Stony Brook's Jameel Warney keeps producing in NBA's
development league
Stony Brook's all-time player on trying to get his next call-up
out of the G League to the NBA: "All I can do is keep on staying
ready and keep on playing well."
Former Stony Brook star Jameel Warney, who had 27 points, plays
in his home debut for the Westchester Knicks against the
Delaware Blue Coats on Saturday, Jan. 19, 2019, at the
Westchester County Center in White Plains, N.Y. Photo Credit:

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — The PA announcer introduced the Westchester
Knicks’ starters for Saturday night’s G League game against
Delaware. He had a new name on the list: “At forward, 6-foot-7,
from Stony Brook, please welcome to Westchester, No. 34, Jameel
Warney!”
Warney had been here at Westchester County Center before with
the Texas Legends. But this Stony Brook legend, who left in 2016
as the program’s all-time leader in points, rebounds, blocks and
games, was making his Westchester home debut.
Westchester acquired the power forward/center on Jan. 8 from the
Legends, the Dallas Mavericks’ affiliate. Warney was in his
third season with them since turning pro. That’s just one reason
why the native of Plainfield, New Jersey, can view the trade in
a favorable light.
“I’m in a better situation now,” Warney said before dominating
inside with 27 points in Westchester’s 105-96 win. “Being in the
same spot for three years, all of the people see you all the
time. So I guess they already know what I can do. So it’s
definitely a different set of eyes that can come see me. I’m
closer to home now. I’m a big homebody guy.
“Life is all about having new experiences. It’s just another
chapter in my life.”
The NBA passed on him in the 2016 draft, but the Mavericks
finally brought him up on a 10-day deal last March. Warney
played against Houston, the Knicks and Toronto. He scored eight
points at Madison Square Garden and averaged nine minutes in his
three games, along with 5.7 points and 3.0 rebounds. But the
Mavs didn’t retain him and he returned to the G League.
“It was a good experience,” he said. “I’m grateful they gave me
the opportunity to play for the team. It definitely made me a
hungry guy to try to get back there.”
At the end of the Legends’ season, he was named first-team
all-league after averaging 19.9 points and 9.6 rebounds. He also
had been the USA Basketball Male Athlete of the Year in 2017.
“I’m undersized, but at the end of the day, I’ve proved that I
can play with the big guys,” said Warney, who offered that he’s
6-8 “on a good day” and 255 pounds. He also said, “I’m working
on my range every day.”
Teammate John Jenkins was a 2012 first-round pick by Atlanta.
The guard has played 145 NBA regular-season games. So is Warney
an NBA-caliber player?
“For sure,” Jenkins said. “His ability to post up and be
efficient doing it and his energy and toughness — all those
qualities translate to the NBA.”
Warney’s new team played three games on the road after the
trade, including one against his old team. Warney, who had
averaged 13.7 points and 6.8 rebounds before the trade, scored
25 points against the Legends.
“He picks things up very quickly,” Westchester coach Mike Miller
said. “He sees the game well. As much as anything, I think he
really knows what he does well and he sticks with it.”
Warney can only hope an NBA team will give him a shot. “I’ve
been auditioning for like the last three years,” he said. “All I
can do is keep on staying ready and keep on playing well.”
He won’t wait forever. His 25th birthday is Jan. 31. “I think
I’m focusing on the last few months, giving my all out, hoping
that something good happens,” he said. “But if not, I talked to
my agent about something new, maybe go overseas. So the next few
months are crucial for me.”
But if you think he’s frustrated about still being in the G
League, think again. “I’m not frustrated at all,” he said. “I
could be having a desk job, a 9-to-5. I’m doing what I love. It
is what it is. I wouldn’t wish anything else.”
