He balled out in the games he appeared in though. Why would he need to go all the way to China in order to play? Doesn't seem right.

It's just for the summer. WNBA players do it in their offseasons too.

Not a bad idea for Jameel

He will clean up over there and dominate, making some nice cash as well. It's the summer and the NBA will be on hiatus. He has nothing left to prove in the summer league so I'm in full support of this. Should be a cool experience- he's the type of person who will take full advantage of this and use it to grow.

Still can't believe NBA teams are still sleeping on him.

Added Sturdivant and Petras.

Also, this is a horrifying read about McAlister, although it's good to see that he's back on his feet: https://www.fullcourt.dk/internationalt/the-day-that-changed-the-life-of-eric-mcalister/

Saintel had 17 and 9 last week in CB Clavijo's preseason game on Friday night. CBC plays in Spain's third division. Happy that Junior is still in the game!

Ho hum, another 17 and 13 for Warney in his season debut with the Legends. With the NBA as wide open as it is, I don't know if we'll ever see him become a regular, but he's putting in the work in case opportunity knocks.

Look at his 3 point percentage, 17% for the game. This could be the reason he isn't getting any looks from the NBA

Petras is averaging 6.1 points and 5.7 boards in 16 minutes a night for MBK Handlova of the Slovakian League.

When looking this stuff up, it's always interesting to see who they're playing with or against. In this case, Petras is getting more burn than teammate and former UMBC standout Will Darley, who dropped 32 on us in the AE quarters a few years ago.

Nice story on Warney in Newsday: https://www.newsday.com/sports/basketball/nets/ex-stony-brook-star-jameel-warney-still-chasing-nba-dream-1.23772058

*****

DALLAS – Former Stony Brook star Jameel Warney has accomplished a lot as a valuable member of the USA Basketball men’s national team and as a first-team G League All-Star with the Texas Legends, but three years into his professional career, he’s still chasing a regular spot on an NBA roster.

Last season, Warney was signed to a 10-day contract by the Mavericks, who are the parent club of the Legends, and coach Rick Carlisle liked what he saw. “He did a nice job for us,” Carlisle said before the Mavs defeated the Nets on Wednesday night at American Airlines Center. “He is an NBA system player in my opinion, a role player.

“But it’s the numbers game. There’s probably a couple of dozen guys at any given time fighting for one NBA position. Something’s got to break with a roster spot. I know he’s a persistent guy that’s not discouraged and he’s going to work no matter what. I have great respect for him. He’s the kind of guy that any coach would love how he approaches the game.”

Carlisle noted that Warney has been bothered by minor nagging injuries that slowed him down early in the season, but the 6-8 power forward still is averaging 17.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.8 blocks through eight games. He’s shooting 44.5 percent from the field and  28.2 percent from three-point range and is an 88.9 percent free- throw shooter.

While 28.2 percent is a low number from three-point range, it is a huge improvement over his 0.00 percentage at Stony Brook, where he never attempted a three. Warney hit four threes in one game earlier this season and is working to develop into the kind of big man who can stretch the floor in the modern NBA.

“He’s in a program with us where he shoots 100 threes before or after every practice,” Legends coach Bob MacKinnon told Newsday. “He’s willing to put in the work. We don’t have to ask him or beg him to do it like a lot of guys. He comes in and does it with one of our coaches every single day. Now it’s translating into game performance.”

The Mavs’ roster is stocked with several forwards who are 6-10 or taller, but MacKinnon doesn’t see size as a problem, especially because Warney is such a good passer and well-rounded player. “He’s a great passer,” MacKinnon said. “Last season, we had a stretch where we [lost] a bunch of point guards. So, I had Jameel bringing up the ball and facilitating our whole offense as our power forward, and he was terrific. He is, I think, the best facilitating big man in our league. It’s another plus.

“He can play facing the basket. He can play posting up, he can rebound, and he can play in and out. Everyone talks about what he isn’t. He isn’t 6-10, but he’s a complete basketball player, a legit 6-8 with a 7-1 wingspan. So he plays bigger than his height.”

Worth noting, UC Iroegbu made his pro debut with the Stockton Kings of the D League on November 23, scoring 11 points in 20 minutes of action. That's his best effort thus far. He averages 4.7 ppg in three games, one of which was against Warney's Legends squad. I wish there was a photo of that reunion on Twitter/IG. A couple Seawolves in the D League is pretty good.

Add Qatar to the list of countries in which Muhammad El-Amin has played professionally. He played in two games, both losses, averaging 17 points a game, but hasn't played in the five since – all wins. So I'm not sure what the story is.

In other news, you know about Warney. Also, Iroegbu has signed with Baloncesto CP La Roda in Spain's third division. It's the same league that Saintel's in.

Roland Nyama's name came up on another thread, and found this interesting story on him, highlighting his professional efforts in Germany. A good read:
